AFL Player #28: Xavier Duursma 🏹

[owen87]

Amazing work rate. A great example for our younger players, coming from Port, who have always had very fit teams. The Burgess effect?

Just a guy with a good tank, we’ve got some of our own but haven’t generally drafted for it enough until recently.

The running power of Martin, Duursma, Durham has been huge. If we lose 1 or 2 of those we will feel it.

The beauty is he runs all day but also has a quick turn of foot so can close down players fast, he doesn’t just run at the same steady pace all day.

Kelly underrated on the running front - he’s a repeat sprint animal too. Jones has put up some good numbers as well. Cox, Perkins, Roberts all above average from U18 testing from memory too.

We’re starting to get a good collection of guys that can cover ground instead of just one or two standouts.
