A powerful and strong utility, Gippsland skipper Rebecca Fitzpatrick leaves no stone unturned in becoming the best footballer she can be. One of those old fashioned players who just goes out and can play a role on any line of the field, Fitzpatrick is a teammates others love running out with as she always gives 100 per cent effort and will never take a backwards step.

She thrives on the inside where she can win the ball and feed it out to teammates, while having a usually high-retention rate of disposal. While she can polish up some elements of her kicking, she has shown when having time and space to make the right call, she usually does. Fitzpatrick's one-on-one ability be it in the air or at ground level is a highlight, and really stands out in her game.

The main knock from an athletic point of view is her lack of speed and agility which can be further developed with time. She is definitely more of that one-on-one strong inside ball-winner, defensive forward or lockdown defender because of her smarts and competitive nature. A really reliable talent, she does not do too much wrong and could be one to watch improve in the future.
