Were we too hasty in delisting Fitzy?

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!

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

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

    Delist.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
