    Just because Hawthorn signed him up doesn't mean he is any good at his job.

    My understanding is the club was happy to see the back of him. Fantasia's claim to fame is he is good at managing up, but certainly not managing large football departments. There are lots of mistakes he made with player contracts which he was responsible for, which has been done to death on WOOF.

    At Hawthorn, he will not be negotiating any contracts.

      I would hope we look closely at Garlett if he's improved/on the right track.

        If Hawthorn thought they got the better of us over the Lake trade they would be unlikely to appoint the person they duped.

        Whether you, I or the Western Bulldogs rate Fantasia is hardly the point.

          For an 'inside mid' I thought his ball use was top notch by foot. Really classy player.

          Hopefully Hunter and Prudden get/deserve a gig soon.

            Hunter played well at Willy on the weekend.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              I firmly believe in the no d#@khead rule, even if it meant a premiership, and I have been waiting a long time. No club drafted him, not even as a rookie. Pass for me.

                  So even if he has improved and is no longer a xxx you still wouldn't want him.

                    Anyway Hrovat is paying $15 to win the rising star nomination this week. Playing against Port I'm hopping on.

                        Early stages I know, but this years draft / trade period may be the best in the clubs history.

                        Adding Lower, Young and Stevens for next to nothing.

                        Stringer, Macrae and Hrovat all look like genuine top shelf talent.

                        Hunter could be something special as well.

                        And Prudden seems to be on the right path.

                        And there's no Patrick Bowden in there.

                        I know I'm going the early crow, but......... well done to the recruitment / list management staff.

                          Hmmmm. Could we have at least ONE Robert Murphy in there?

                            That's a winner there. $15! That's less than Cooney was paying for the Charlie.

                              An 18 year old kid made some poor choices at the wrong time. How long do you penalise him for? And let's face it, if you think you can create a list of 40+, 18-35year olds males, with loads of disposable cash & not end up with any dickheads, you're fooling yourself.

                                Nearly everybody disliked Jason Akermanis when he played for the Lions. He was seen as arrogant and over opinionated amongst other things.

                                Then he came and played for us and most of the people who disliked him all of a sudden embraced him until he eventually became too much of a handful and became a problem child. Now he is gone and back on the hated list.

                                Plenty of peoples standards can be compromised if the chance of winning a flag.

                                I think the no dickheads rule is a good one and it doesn't mean you can't have some challenging guys at the club but I can't see why anyone would want a team of dickheads.
