I asked this on the Casey Game Day thread, but it seems not much traffic goes through there at this time of the week, so I will ask again here (besides, I suppose it is as relevant in this forum).

I noticed early in the Casey Game Day thread that there was a mention of Jack Fitzpatrick being injured in the reserves. I haven't been able to find any more detailed information on this anywhere at all, so am wondering if anyone here might know what the extent of the injury was and how well he was performing up until the time he left the ground. Thanks in advance.

i spoke to him and he got a corky

Thanks for that... I suppose with all of the injuries we have been experiencing, I was expecting the worst... would love to see him getting a run in the Casey firsts soon.

Screw that, give him AFL experience. The sooner we have a key forward the better

I don't expect we'll see too much of J Fitzy in Casey seniors this year I would have thought. Apart from playing the Casey boys & the DEE boys, I'd have thought Jack Fi'z, would need to get a real pre season into his big frame as well as getting past any lingering health issues, before ramping up his fitness & weights regime pre season.

There's not much space in the tall forward/ruck area this year with Watts, Martin, Spencer, PJ, Hughes, Dunn, Newton needing opportunities to promote their chances.

Fitzy would be in the prepare your body mode of his development at this stage.

Important to remember even the very, very best AFL tall forwards rarely, if ever, show much before they're 20. It doesn't help to throw these kids in the deep end. They need to play in situations where they can actually get their hands on it and have shots on goal. Getting 3 touches and being beaten to the ball all day long doesn't help kids develop.

This is the same reason Watts could use another couple of games back at Casey to get his hands on it again.

Spot on "Inner Demon"

Jack should be playing for casey this weekend, his spot goes to Dunn who kicked 8 last week and will not intimidated by pie thugs.

Personally I'd like to see Jack play and get suspended for beating Nick Maxwell up

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
