Fitzpatrick, recruited locally from Footscray District Football League team Deer Park, was a defender.[1] He made 18 senior appearances for Footscray, from 1987 to 1989.[2] Geelong secured him in the 1990 Pre-Season Draft but he didn't play a league game for the club.[3] He went on to have a noted career with Werribee in the Victorian Football Association (later Victorian Football League). A member of Werribee's 1993 premiership team, Fitzpatrick won the club's best and fairest award in 1995 and was captain for the next two seasons.[4][5]
