Has any player ever, who has played for the MFC, had worse skills than Fitzspastic Fitzspatrick?? He conistantly shanks, slices or even air balls. How he is on our list is just remarkable, and worse still is the way we have giften him 2 Rd 22 games. As the knobs say..... "It cheapens our brand" having him anywhere near the seniors.

did you go to or see any of his preceding games at casey that warranted his inclusion? As he showed real signs of potential stages there.

Yeah right. What, being tall? He is hopeless. Has been since first training session. I want him to be good too but he is very uncordinated, a dumb footballer and soft.

He earned his couple of matches in the first 22, on the back of consistent and solid form at Casey, doing what he was asked to do. If you missed that, or don't understand that, or weren't reading the Casey reviews, or didn't attend any Casey matches, or for whatever other reason don't get it, that's a reflection on you, not him.

Where was Jamar at when he was Fitzy's age?

He is a dud. I know he is one of us so I should like him. But as a footballer he is terrible. What have you seen in him that I havent? Personally I think he is the worst player to represent the Dees in my 40 years of watching. A massive liability and when he does anything remotely positive everyone says he is progressing nicely. He is seriously bad witha terrible workrate. Would not even be firstruck in many EFL teams.

Geeezz....Did he run over your cat or something......

Can I ask why he is a liability, having played the grand total of 2 games?

He was the leading goalkicker at Casey last season

Are you another one of those posters that just picks a player and away you go venting your spleen

He is a fwd/ruckman by the way, not just ruck, obviously you can't have watched him too many times to not know that

Boosdog must be right

You guys must be seeing something aren't. I think he is woeful in regards to skills, footy brain, coordination and 2nd efforts. And I watch a lot of Casey games. Agree to disagree.

Whilst alf Stewart may be going a bit hard on a guy who started getting in the best for Casey quite a few times last year, I do tend to agree.

His highlights package had zero highlights when recruited, and let's not forget we didn't rookie this bloke either, but got him with the next pick after gawn. Watched him in the first praccy match at Casey and thought deary me. He looked terrible. But hey he was tall so give him a few years. But now a few years later I still can't see what prendergast was thinking.

He has done nothing in the pre season games as well.

I tend to agree. He was a liability in his two games for Melbourne as well.

It will be a miracle if he survives the cut end of year.

He kicked 28 goals and 15 behinds in the VFL

not bad for 15 games 13th in the league as well...

Yeah exactly what we need. Less than 2 goals / game in the VFL. What a champ. Sorry guys but you all have rose coloured glasses on here. He is hopeless.

Put him in the rape dungeon alf.

Come on guys Fitzy is a remant of the old recruiting team who thought speed was important for key position players when they should of being looking for ability and strength and skill. Don't get me wrong I don't want a team of slow players but big Fitz's speed counts for little because he isn't a big strong mark or ruckman and his skills are horrendous. A good VFL player doesn't make a good AFL player

Casey were minor vfl premiers last year in case you missed that. Fitz played some pretty good football during the season as well.

What bothers me is that from what I heard we were going to pick Dylan Grimes at pick(?50-odd), but were stunned to see Fitzpatrick was still available, so took him, and ditched Dylan.

By the way there's a third brother,Aaron Grimes. I think he's tall. Has anyone seen him play?

ABC commentators acknowledged during the VFL finals series that Casey really missed Fitzpatrick's ability to break games open with his speed and athleticism. He came third in the Casey BF and won their goalkicking. Fitzy has shown more at that level than most on our list. He knows he is under the pump to perform as he is in the last year of his contract. Let's judge him at the tail-end of the year.
