Compared to the "effusive" raps on Melksham
Plapp "The only downside to his game was that he kicked four behinds and really could’ve finished the day with a top game"
I assume that by saying he could have finished the day with a top game, that he is saying that he didn't.
Nash, how often have we bailed on a young ruckman for it to bite us later? Fitzpatrick would have been cheap insurance. Any how I'm off, sharks to jump.
Not hindsight I was calling for him to be held onto at the time. Not up to the standard of 3rd ruck - part time forward? Harsh but I disagree. He did play for Hawthorn last year you know, got them into the finals, any way I agree to disagree.
Wise, do you think we should have kept Fitzpatrick on the rookie list? We sure as hell could do with him now.
I would back him in the ruck against Watts, Filipovic, King or Pedo. Clearly behind Gawn & Spencer.
We stupidly got rid of Jack Fitzpatrick. No he was not a great ruckman, no he was not a great forward, but we gave him away. He kicked five goals for Box Hill, and can play in the ruck. What do we need? A forward ruck 200cm+ blind Freddy could see it but the FD could only see tunnel ball, dikheads.
