I'm not Booney but it's a solid no thanks from me. 6 out of 13 goalless games this season for a stay at home small forward, 14 for the season, 10 of those in 3 games, North Melbourne, Collingwood when they were shit and Essendon when they were shitter.

Orazio will kick more in the 5 games he plays next season.

Solid opinion, Fantasia has to actually get on the park to kick goals though. Has played 21 games out of a possible 67 in the past three seasons


That's 31.3%, I'm going unders @ 22.7%, I've built in some fat ;)

I don't think you can measure someone who plays small forward in a shocking side. Normally in a poor side, the ball isn't coming in fluently and often the opposition have numbers back. So I'd take little notice of how many games he went without a goal this season.

For every 16 goals WCE kicked this season, Rioli kicked 1, I just don't really rate him, to me he's a downhill skiier and we've had more than out fair share of them.

Darling and Kennedy kicked 71 goals out of 143. That makes slim pickings for others IMO. Not saying it's the definitive stat but it is an indicator.

What I'd like to know is how many inside 50s they had and how many rebounded straight out of their forward 50.

Rioli did just come back after two years out of the game into a side that was worse than shit.

Port will have a crack thinking they can get make a Stengle like transition.

Personally I don't think it will happen...the bloke had how many years off to get his body right for his return. Watching him this year he looked the shape of a country fill in b grader. To me that's a sign his not serious about it.

If he was serious about being the best footballer he could be he wouldn't have shown up looking like that for elite level sport.

In fairness he was no lone ranger at the Eagles.....look at Nic Nac. No wonder he keeps getting injured. Kelly was another one who looked short of a decent preseason.

TBH I haven't seen an unfitter looking professional sporting team in many many years and it reflected in their performances.

Been a noticeable change in Nic Nat. The knee injury might have played a part in that but if he's lugging extras the chances of him doing a knee again would increase.
