#27 Orazio Fantasia

The Soda Room

Show Notes

Orazio Fantasia was one of the AFL’s most exciting and dynamic small forwards.

Watching him pounce on the ball and snap a major with his uncanny goal sense was an absolute delight for many Essendon, Port and Carlton lovers.

Raz played in a SANFL flag for Norwood in just his 4th senior game. Now, he is heading back to have a kick with local footy side Adelaide University.

His humility, selflessness and care for his team mates was evident to everyone who lined up alongside him. Everytime Raz got hit with an injury setback, his ability to deal with adversity enabled him to do all he could to get back on the park and do what he did best.
