How good is he to watch? Silky smooth, creative, opportunistic, dynamic. Not since Darren Bewick has a small forward given me so much delight. His last 20 games have yielded 44 goals - so he's been pretty consistent too.

Keep on keeping on Razzle Dazzle, Raz, Razamatazz, Disney, Fanta the FANTASTIC!

I really like that he this year he has been able to go in for centre bounces and have some influence in the middle
The more players we have capable of doing that the better we will become.

Spot on. Even Tippa got in the middle for a few minutes and had an influence. Awesome.

Opposition players are genuinely worried when Walla is anywhere near the ball so having him in the middle now and then is fantastic.

Well there you go.

With Green, Tippa and Fantasia all genuine forward threats we can afford to rotate them through the middle without losing too much up front.

Sandy Roberts should chuck it in.

Has always sounded like a circus ring announcer with a peg on his nose.

True. And we can add Colyer to that rotation.

I gotta say, I just never saw it coming - the rise of Orazio.

I remember reading a few people on here saying how highly he was rated by the coaches but in the few glimpses I had of him frankly couldn't see it.

Thanks Ben!!

Great vision - he is just a natural forward - instinctive, creative, quick and as cheeky as f***! just what we want!

I love how he often works down the ground to be a release option from the kick ins also. As he builds his endurance and gets more possessions he will be more damaging!

We now have some small forwards who are love a goal and are a little bit hungry - as they should be!!

Has kicked 22.9 (71% accuracy) which is excellent.

Overall, he has 53.36 (59.5% accuracy) which is ok.

For the record, Lloyd had a career 68.6% accuracy. Joe Daniher currently 56.5% accuracy (career so far).

Lockett = 69.7% accuracy
Dunstall = 66.1% accuracy
Betts = 67.2% accuracy (career so far)
