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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
