Whitzell, who came from Altona North and Brooklyn YC, was a Victorian Teal Cup representative in 1981.[1][2] Described by teammate Dermott Brereton as having "more tattoos than Angry Anderson", Whitzell made his league debut for South Melbourne a few weeks later, as a 17-year-old.[3][4] That appearance, against Fitzroy at Lake Oval, would remain his only senior game until 1983, by which time the club had relocated to Sydney.[5] He played four league games in 1983 and continued to make only occasional senior appearances for Sydney over the next three years.[5] In 1987 he played for Port Melbourne in the Victorian Football Association and polled the equal second most votes (17) at the J. J. Liston Trophy.[6]
