AFL Career

After kicking four goals in a Victorian Football League match for Casey, Fitzpatrick made his AFL debut in the final round of the 2011 season.[3] He kicked a goal in the match.[4] Jack played the last game of the 2012 AFL season against fremantle kicking 2 goals. Suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as a youngster, hence the inconsistency early on. A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes at 21 years of age has also added to his challenges.

Fitzpatrick showed improvement during the 2013 AFL season, he played every match from rounds 10 - 21 for Melbourne, ranking No 1 at the club for scoreboard impact, kicking 15 goals in 11 games.

From 2014 he has failed to make an impact at senior level managing 8 games in two years.

He was delisted by Melbourne in September 2015,[5] however, he was recruited by the Hawthorn Football Club through a trade in October.[6]
