Instead he's missing half a game (or more) each week.
I'd prefer the players who miss half a season, at least they can perform when fit.
Look, i've got nothing against him personally, and most of this should be directed at the match committee as much as anything, but he simply isn't performing up to the standard of a 28yo (soon to be 29yo). There is no way that the recruiters would've recruited him if they had've known this was the output they would get from him.
People are happy to see the backs off Marchbank, Cuningham and Martin who have struggled to get out on the park.....but all of them have been able to perform when they do to an acceptable AFL level.
If Fantasia is old, busted and no longer able to perform at an acceptable level, thats fine. Happens to everyone.
If Fantasia is simply getting a game because everyone else is injured, thats fine. Someone has to be picked.
But don't tell me he is a valuable member of the side. Don't tell me his output is acceptable. Don't tell me he deserves his spot in the side.
His output suggests otherwise to all of the above.
