Guess what. The Hawks are interested in Jack Fitzpatrick according to Herald Sun. Could this be another Stef Martin? A tall, mobile big man. Good luck to Jack if it comes off. Never given enough opportunities at Melbourne.

Probably the only similarities.

I will back the Hawks footy savvy in against the Dees footy savvy in any day (recent history very much proves that) and has David Neitz still a forwards footy role at the Hawkers? Has to eventuate though and it may not.

How long can you keep an under-performing player on your list? You have to draw the line somewhere, and I think Fitzpatrick's six seasons provided him with more than enough time to earn a place, which he failed to do. Next.

Perhaps they're putting together a tunnel ball team to take on Swinburne Uni?

I was a Fitzy hopeful for the past few years hoping once he got his body and health in alignment he would make the jump to AFl standard. He did show some cameoes along the way but the Casey VFL final against Sandy this season did it for me. He took a couple of great defensive marks in the first quarter but followed up with some shocking blunders in defence that you would only expect from under 15's. that was it for me. Some people haven't got it mentally, no matter their physical gifts, time to move on. Good luck to Fitzy and the Hawks but not much will come of it.

Named this week.

Always a soft spot for Fitz and especially happy to see him back after his concussion issues.

Wont be cheering Hawthorn but will be cheering the 'almost cult hero' Jack Fitzpatrick.

I wonder if the umpires will interpret his tunnel ball move favourably if he does it wearing yellow and brown?

Sad to hear Fitzy is retiring due to concussion issues. 

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-21/concussion-forces-hawk-jack-fitzpatrick-to-retire-at-26

I recall he was much maligned for his 'tunnel ball' but thought he more than compensated for that when he kicked the winning goal to get the Hawks into the final four last year.

Always did his best for the Dees. 

Good luck Fitzy.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
