Were we too hasty in delisting Fitzy?

Featured Replies

Traded for pick 94. Says it all.

Considering what he was up against health wise, I have nothing but goodwill and high-hopes for Fitz. Posts like yours add nothing but spite to any discussion I'm afraid.

 

Good luck to Fitzy. Hope he make a show of it.

 

Nah, he was definitely plucked straight from the u18s. Not even sure who you're thinking of, to be honest, doesn't ring a bell at all.

I think you're right Nasher... he and Gawn were both picked up in the same draft.


Any reason why they gave a late pick for him when they could have just got him as a delisted free agent?

Mahoney apparently said it was because the Hawks wanted him on the list and therefore able to start turning up a week earlier than he would otherwise be able. MFC just doing a former player and his new club a favour, basically - for good will and nothing more.

Good luck Fitzy, tried his heart out. Hope things turn around for you at the Squarks.

If Fitzy gets a game at Hawthorn I'll chew on my own jocks - while wearing them.

I was nearly going to say I'd chew on Snitch's jocks - but no one would believe that.

Not bad getting drafted by the reigning premiers. Who knows maybe they can turn him into something they need. Good luck to him. and wish him all the best.

Well said! Fitzy tried his best under trying personal circumstances.

When he first joined the Dee's I asked him his former allegiance and he replied Hawthorne.

I wish him success.

This is great news for the Fitz. I really hope he kicks on with the Hawks and manages to get some senior games.

The sooner he's on their list the sooner he can start training with them and working with their fitness staff. There are insurance issues and things involved in letting a player who isn't on your list work with your people.

I thought he was on Hawthorns list but had real problems with injuries. They ditched him we recruited him, we ditched him they recruited him.

We drafted him with pick 50 in the 2009 draft.

Also, I would like to take a brief moment to enjoy this working out. :)

Pick 94!!! You could have me for pick 94!!

I wouldn't give more than 95 for you.

Keeps with Hawks strategy of trading in skilled players.

I wish him the absolute best.

Hawks would be a good place for him. Glad he will get a second chance!


That tunnel ball killed him, there was never any coming back from that.

In retrospect, he should've been dragged to the bench, given the red jacket and immediately delisted following that incident.

I'll be cheering for him even while wearing a poos and wees jumper. Hope he makes the most of his chance.

I truly hope I don't see you at the Haw vs Melb game then.


Always thought he had something, but I never knew what it was! Took Gawn six years to come good. Maybe the Hawks are on to something! Norm Smith always reckoned that big blokes needed seven years to hit their peak.

I think we would have kept him if Max King didn't impress mid year.

We have better defenders and Max King, also 200cm, has consigned Fitzpatrick to the dungheap.

Delist.

Hmmm, three peat dungheap.

Nice heap.

Nice heap.

So if I've got this right, because Hawthorn are happy to have him as depth you think we made a mistake ?

Nice logic.

  • 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

    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.
