Brendan Whitecross and Jack Fitzpatrick are set to provide the feelgood storylines for Hawthorn as they embark on their September assault on a fourth AFL premiership.Neutral fans might struggle to get excited about another Hawks flag, but no reasonable supporter could begrudge Whitecross a bit of success.The 26-year-old was a regular in the Hawks senior side in the three years leading up to their stunning premiership run but two knee reconstructions sidelined him as his team went on to win the 13, 14 and 15 flags.I think its absolutely brilliant, teammate Isaac Smith said of Whitecross, who forced his way back into the side in round 17 after a lengthy absence.Hes missed out on (so much).But hes been working really hard and hes put about 15 months of consistent footy together.Both players made crucial plays in the frantic last minutes of Hawthorns one-point win over Collingwood in round 23 that sealed a crucial top-four finish.Whiteecross made a vital defensive save at one end before Fitzpatrick booted his much-talked-about long bomb goal to set up the win.ddddddddddddFitzpatrick, who suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, was making his first senior appearance for the Hawks after being delisted by Melbourne after 22 games.Fitzy always talks about how he was a diehard Hawks fan growing up, Smith said.And how, when he stepped in the door at the club, he was a little bit starstruck.He says Jordan Lewis was his favourite player growing up and also Hodgie (Luke Hodge) and Mitch (Sam Mitchell).He said (last week) was a childhood dream come true and he loved every minute of it.It was brilliant to see him do that on the weekend.The Hawks finals campaign kicks off on Friday night when they take on Geelong in a qualifying final at the MCG. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
