News Xavier Duursma departs for Essendon

[Chewy316]

If there's anyone on this list who I'm unequivocally not concerned about developing into a gun, it's X.

Even in their early years, guys like Michael, Kobe and LeBron all missed game winning shots. What never wavered was their inherent belief they'd make it next time.

X has that belief. Just hope that no coach in particular tries (even inadvertently) to coach it out of them.

Nice game from Xavier. One thing struck me today, he does that arrow thing really well

 

[Marmozet]

His bow and arrows get better ever time.

Never change, kid!

Great game today... could poll a brownlow vote for todays game?

Maybe an unpopular opinion but if the 2018 draft was redone now, I'd be calling Xavier's name out at pick 5.

I don't think it would be unpopular at at all! I reckon I'd definitely be torn between him and Rozee. Good post.

Sure, but that's only because if the 2018 draft was redone Connor Rozee wouldn't be available at pick 5.

Kicking skills are way better then I thought they would be , keen to see were he is in 3 years time

Get in line.

Agree. In fact, I'd have him in the Round 1 team before Rozee right now. He has the potential to become our Polec replacement on the wing.

port store if you're reading i would like to preorder a 2020 Prison Bars #21 thank you

 

[TheFVK]

I love this guy so much.

Gets s**t for doing a celebrations he's done all year

Rather than going into his shell says * that and checksides a goal from the boundary, followed by the bow and arrow to end all bow and arrows

Legend

agreed. I can remember watching his nab draft video and being a bit underwhelmed by his kicking.

true. the gap between Duursma and Rozee would have been less though. Based on current performance, Duursma would have been in top 5. Be an interesting exercise to list a top 20 based on what we have seen so far.

Could Duursma become a mid?
