Hawthorn turned to Jack Fitzpatrick late last season after the LTI to Jonathon Ceglar and he didn't let them down, kicking an astounding 60m winner in round 23 and playing his second ruck role in the two finals supporting Ben McEvoy. Fitzpatrick will be eligible for a rookie upgrade immediately, as Ceglar will remain on the LTI list for most if not all of the 2017 season. The recruitment of Tyrone Vickery means the club can afford to wait, so he'll likely play for Box Hill unless disaster strikes again.
Big trick by Fitzpatrick
