I am not predicitng he will be a superstar (a term overused) but pleasing to see Jack Fitzpatrick (201cm / 85 kg / utility) have a run in the Casey reserves and get some pretty decent plaudits too.

"Jack was a standout - he played really well. He kicked a couple of goals - they came from four goals down with ten minutes to go to win. Jack played a part in that because he kicked a goal himself, and then he went down back when they hit the front by a point and took a big mark. He certainly looks a likely prospect, but we’ll have to be patient at the moment because of all the tall forwards we’ve got. There’s no real rush with him, and if he keeps playing like that, hopefully his opportunity will come."

Yes its only Casey Reserves and I dont fully "understand because of all the tall forwards we’ve got" if you define tall in the modern game as over 194cm (Martin, Watts and who?) - but 201cm players who can play forward or back are pretty nice to have developing.

    Noises out of the club seem to think that he is ahead of where they expected him to be. Given that we are weak in the 2nd ruck and tall forward areas he will have a chance to make the team if he can show good form at Casey seniors. Moves well for a big guy, let's just hope we don't have to wait until he's 26 before he finds good form.

    Agree pb, but some people around here will find that concept impossible.

    I have had a couple of chats with Jack Fitzpatrick, at the AGM, the Family Day and at JO training, because of his Chronic Fatigue history they are very carefully montiroring his training loads etc, easing him back when need be, Alistair Lynch is actually mentoring him whenever he needs it which I think is cool of Lynch.

    Was pleased as punch to be drafted, club are looking at him at steadily putting on muscle and weight again with going backwards, was given a run in the practice games just to have a look and see.

    The VFL ressies is the nice measured start he needs to get a taste

    Spoke to Chris Connolly about him and he loves the way we have drafted in the last couple of years, particularly the rookie and late picks and said if Jack can keep working the way he is, we will have another really good player.

    In the meantime, he hasn't been selected to play anywhere this weekend after starring in the Casey reserves last week.

    Anybody know why?

    Don't know if he's injured or on a graduated RTW but he was only having goalkicking practice and missed the main training session this morning at the junction.

    I was listening to the draft and one of the 'commentators' said he was surprised that JF was yet to be picked up by any club, he was expecting him to be picked up early in the draft... Then MFC picked him up at 50. I think he mentioned he had pretty handy skills.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
