Surely we will re-draft him, either as a rookie or late pick.

Thank goodness, it would have been horrible to lose both our quality cult heroes in one delisting period.

Potentially just a case that no one else is interested in him. We essentially got him for nothing in trade last year and since then he's missed most games with a lingering concussion and a knee injury. I wouldn't think there'd be much interest from elsewhere due to all that.

At minimum wage he may be a popular choice for the same reason we got him. 2 injured ruck at the same time.
We may be offering a bit above that because he has a year experience with our systems. And if he is fully over the concussion then there is every chance he will play a couple of games.

I keep hoping the club knows they don;t need him because the Big Number 2 is on his way back....

He's certainly worth a depth spot on any list. Goal kicking ruckman with good athletic abilities are never in great supply.
So given that, I don't see why we'd take the risk of putting him in a situation where another club could take him unless we were relatively certain no other club would.
If we are aiming to pay only 95% of the cap with a less than full list then potentially he will be getting a bit more than other clubs would like to pay. We can only speculate though.
Hopefully there are no issues with getting back on the list. With Ceglar likely out for all of 2017 we are seriously lacking for ruck depth.

The Hawk's big footy forum starts talking Fitz's potential re-drafting, the AFL website makes a story the next day. Man, life would be great as a AFL journo, you comb through big footy all day and flog good ideas to repackage as your own.

Funny you should say that as I was just thinking...
What if Fitzmagic was delisted, then miraculously re-drafted, only to appear at the 'G in front of 90,000 on Easter Monday?
Surely, the 2nd coming of Spangher????

Pleased for Jack - handy depth player with great hands. If he can improve his kicking it may help his cause.

It appeared that we cleft our connection with Fitzmagic in two but voila! He appears again!

Needs to stop practising 70 metre goals on the run. He has nailed this. He should focus on 30 metres passes now

lol ... too true.
Who ever were not interested , good! And bad luck to you all.
I think a lot of Hawk posters also underrate this young bloke , I think you will be surprised , I hope to hell they re draft him, he is an asset.
And to the Hawks fans who aren't sure, Clarko had an EYE ON HIM long before most others, and is no fool.
And look at the super coach at Melbourne who didn't know Jack existed, hah!
Alistair, is the Bart Cummings of footballer coaches, that's our boss, Clarko!

I definitely agree he's worth redrafting. I think I've already said I was surprised we delisted him in the first place. We're not exactly well stocked with ruckmen or even tall forwards in general.
What's with the speculation? This is Fitzpatrick we are talking about

He's currently training at the club with a chance of being drafted in the National or more likely Rookie draft.
