Talk about everything Essendon. Past, Present and Future if it's about the Bombers this is the place to be.

Going alright for a bloke who couldn't crack the week 1 team last year with half the team missing.

A real pity ... one of our more tenacious and dangerous players.

How good is this bloke! Pick 55? Absolute jet.

He's a top class mover. He's a good mark for his size (like Mercuri), and he's an absolute ripping goal sneak (like Bewick). I haven't had much joy watching the Bombers the past 10 years, but Fantasia is someone who genuinely gets me pumped.

He is our most important player. We are a much better side when he is in it. I have no doubt we would have lost on the weekend if he didn't play.

Sandy Roberts was calling him M.T.W yesterday.
Roberts likes to think that he is such an icon he can create nicknames. He still calls Tippa,

Guy is an absolute flog!!
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark

Totally agree. IMO, he destroyed the 1993 Grand Final with his diabolically shitfull commentary

Sadly, Fantasia's season has been too cruelled by injury for him to get an AA nomination (which I think he deserves). Only other one on out list would be Smith.

Ha, I reckon I could recite a fair chunk of the commentary from the '93 granny from memory. "Take me on, take me on he says...and still gets away with it!"

Ah yes, that was Ian Robertson. He was probably the best of that sad bunch in the box.

Sandy kept robotically blurting “correct!” after Gerard Healy’s captain obvious statements, then use stupid Sandyisms like “oh my hat” after a great bit of play (ffs) :roll:

And what was “and he kicks it straight through the middle as if it were on a wire”??? ](*,)

They (except Robbo) seemed to try too hard to impress international viewers - “zone deefense”, and trying to explain Fletcher’s young status as completing “matriculation”. GAGF.

Because by extending it a further 2, it takes him to FA, he has a couple of injury free seasons like he did last year, he can count on a big, fat, multi-year deal on much coin, either from us or someone else.
