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!

    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.

    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: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
