I find it hard to believe that the coaches don't notice this, and if they're unhappy with it, would they not issue a corrective ? I've heard a number of coaches criticize too many players getting sucked in to the contest, and state some players need to be stationed outside the contest to receive the footy.
That’s the key Paul; Fantasia is getting games because he’s following instructions.
He’s not supposed to get sucked into contests, we’ve got the big bodies to do that. He’s supposed to provide an outlet and make good use of the ball when it does come his way.
He also spends a lot of time talking to his teammates and I suspect that part of his role is to ensure that players stick to their roles.
I’d still like to see him more involved in the game and making the most of opportunities around goal.
