stevethemanjordan 6,952 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Questionable pick, made by a questionable recruiting team, employed by a questionable administration at the time. Good luck to him in his future endeavours. But he never had the 'footballing' ability to make it. Only the 'physical' ability.
dieter 3,325 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 My physio is a trainer at Box Hill. I saw him recently, about a month ago, I said, Poor Fitzy is a spud. He said, Fitzy is a spud.

Redleg 42,143 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Fitzy is at least the 2nd 2016 finals player to be delisted. Might be rookied by Hawks or someone else.

Sillier things have happened particularly in the current climate where most teams are trying to bolster their ruck/KPF stocks. As insurance Fitzy is not out of the question (and it paid dividends for the Hawks last year having a contingency plan)!

Demon-lite my fat foot.It is possible to express an opinion. I watched him dither and dally at Melbourne, I watched him get lost and confused at Box Hill. A spud, ladies and gentlemen, is a spud.

I am told he is a really nice guy that was good enough to get on 2 AFL lists. Like the majority of players drafted on to AFL lists he was not quite good enough but close. I am sure not helped by his diabetic condition. I am sympathize with him.

In the same way that I sympathize with Dawes, McKenzie, Mat Jones, Garland, Tapscott, Strauss, Couch, Magnar, Blease, Michie, Bate, Bennell and all the others who weren't quite good enough. But, there comes a time when Melbourne needs players to be more than second rate stop gaps. Or, list fillers, or, just simply spuds...

Especially the ones that whinge about how bad we're going and then get sentimental when we're finally able to say goodbye to the spuds that kept making the same mistakes, time and time again.

Bombay Airconditioning 6,504 Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Two things I hate being brought up when a player is being discussed : 1 - He's a great bloke. (This has zero relevance to his abilty as footballer yet is used as some kind of defence) 2 - The poster that has posted what is perceived to be a negative comment than being asked if he has played at the highest level. (No they probably haven't but they may be a specialist in their chosen field, they are still entitled to their opinion)

(No they probably haven't but they may be a specialist in their chosen field, they are still entitled to their opinion) I agree with you. In the end this is a Demon Supporter forum. I've been a supporter since 1959 - 10 years in the Western suburbs of Melbourne, Jungle land - and have watched them play like spuds from 1966 to 1975, 1977 till 1986, from 2006 till 2014. Many 'great blokes' have been shredded though the spud machine in that time. I last played in a final at Under 16 level where I rucked against Laurie Sandilands and kicked two goals. After that footy just became too rough for me. I am, after all, a gentle soul.

Phew Thank Christmas you didn't mention One "Juice Newton" in this group! Clearly, Juice was a player who had very bad luck, cruelly cut down by injury in his almost prime!! A tragedy!
