Burning issues Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I heard from someone the other day that Fitzy's cousin or sister won Australia's Next Top Model recently. If this is true surely the club could use this to gain some more publicity with a different audience. Maybe???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Harsh to bench him given his form, but tbh i prefer him as a 60 min sub. He's so effective running against tired defenders and his work rate defensively is exceptional also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I agree and old mate Cahill is done by that time so maybe Valkanis is onto something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning issues Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 They awarded Fitzy A-League player of the month for October on Fox tonight. I'm sure I can remember Bruno getting this award at least once before. I'm just wondering if anyone has a list of all Heart/City players that have received this award. Can anyone remember some of our players I'm guessing Moy would have picked it up a couple of times as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I thought he's not been as good the last 2 weeks to be honest. Last night he didn't have much of an impact and lately seems to not be hitting the target like he used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Interestingly our only two goals conceded this season have been similar where the winger or full back of the opposition has snuck in at the opposite post. Both times said player has snuck in behind fitzy without his knowledge but both times it's happened because someone in centre defence hasn't man marked the correct player. I agree Fitzy should have been more aware but it's not his fault entirely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came closest to scoring last night only redmayne's superb save unfortunately prevented us from taking the lead and he also presented Ross with a tap in that on any other night would have given us an equaliser. The goal against us was probably due to him not tracking back on Wilkinson but other that he looked great IMHO. I thought him and Kamou both looked good last night, both with huge work rates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's all true. Could have had 2 assists. His shot missed the target though, last year I think he would have at least forced a save. Anyway I'm not bagging him, just thinking I have seen him scare the shit out of defenders a lot more than what he did last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Fitzy is not the most talented player in our squad, but I rate him as one of the most consistent - possibly the most consistent - in terms of playing up to his capabilities. You know what to expect him to deliver, and he rarely fails to meet expectations. He's very good at getting to the byline and slipping the ball across the 6-yard box all along the ground for the tap in - as he did for McCormack last night. Bruno would have eaten that chance; McCormack just hasn't had the match time with the squad to know what to expect. Good, solid, reliable player - hope he stays with us into the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hitting the bottom corner, will probably get save on the round. Im a Fitzy fan boy so am probably biased, I think I just love a good underdog story. Probably one of our most underwhelming signings at the time (& lowest paid) & he’s arguably been our best player the last 18 months. Plus given my limited interaction with him he seems like a genuinely nice kid, far from some of the egos we’ve had in our squad in the past. I think if Brandan/import had been playing the way he has the last 18 months, they’d be getting heralded as one of the best players in the league, but because it’s a bloke who came from CCM & can’t do a step over, he seems to get overlooked. Shocked to not see him just behind Bart on top of our POTY points. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it he's not the first or the last to make a mistake and i agree that he has stepped it up from last year. I remember when we signed him from CCM i thought he would improve as he showed the same work ethics when he was there, i like the kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MXG Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Too much movies you are watching, mate, stop it. We will see against Wasted Sydney if he's learn a lesson and will start passing quicker. Or he will be again going like a headless chicken to the end of the pitch hoping to cross.

I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of some of those statements and felt that the articles that you shared to attempt to disprove one person's opinion and at the same time yours on the performance of another member of the team was quite entertaining Edited November 10, 2017 by Embee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
