2013 Player Profile: Jack Fitzpatrick

[Mr.Craig]

Jack Fitzpatrick



Melbourne Demons
Birthday - 26/6/91
200cm/99kg
Career Games - 3
2012 DT Scores - 21, 36

Price/Position - $146,800 (Ruck)

Jack isn't going to win any beauty contests but the 21 year old is continuing to make strides in his football career. After battling injury throughout 2010 and 2011 Fitzpatrick put together 15 games in the VFL last year, kicking 28.25 while averaging 14.4 disposals, 5.1 marks and 19.6 hitouts. His potential JS if iffy - he'd need to overtake Spencer to secure a ruck spot and has Clark, Dawes and Howe to contend with for a forward position. None the less, he is reasonably priced and is worth keeping on the radar for a R3 or R4 position if the likes of Daw, Currie, Witts and Grundy don't present themselves.

2012 VFL Scores - 75, 74, 90, 67, 91, 123, 89, 97, 90, 76, 105, 92, 132, 68, 70 (Ave: 89.3)

I reckon he's the best sub-200k ruck for 2013. Has solid JS and scoring potential.

Just that price makes me prefer Witts as third ruck. Why pay 146k for a guy who won't play ever apart from the bye rounds when you can pay Witts 108k to do the same thing.

Those VFL scores are just wow for a young ruck!
A good option,
Martin is gone but Jamar is still a very good standalone ruck

[Mr.Craig]

Surprising that he wasn't given DPP.
