AFL Player 28: Xavier Duursma 🏹

[VelvetSledge]

 

[Milanista28]

Bring Yas next, then Zane and may as well grab Willem also.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Congratulations on a great pick up.

Injuries have plagued his career and he also has probably not reached his potential at Port due to not quite fitting in the culture (which says good things about him - our culture is awful).

His best is unbelievable and I wish him well.

 

[The Donners]

Nah BZT isnt anywhere near as bad as you think. Hes improved every year of his career.

That you Dodoro?

[Gumby2Hurley]

You guys are going to love him. He's the kind of soldier you build a side around and the fans love.

Hes fit, hard working and courageous.

Yeah but have you seen Y play? There's no place for her in our AFLW side, VFLW standard at best (and even then not a standout I wouldn't have thought).

VFLW team has room so that’s okay. Hopefully we get bigger lists one of these years to go with the longer seasons

 

[Zach Package]

Assemble all the Duursma's, but I suspect Willem might be the one to start jockeying for.

Playing TAC cup as a 15 year old, playing Seniors for Foster regularly and VIC Country's MVP at the u16 Carnival.

 

[Don Won]

We’ve never had a Xavier represent the club before, brave new world.

Jobe, Alwyn, Jayden…

Three re-signings yesterday

 

[Enviable Tradition]

All this talk of his courage is making me wonder about his concussion history

Yeah he backs back into packs in defense sometimes to his own detriment. It could end being an issue in this modern environment.

Bloody courageous though.

One thing I would say is be patient when he comes back from injuries. He seems to take more games to get going again than most but once he does he really lifts his output.

It's ok, we have this play nailed down due to watching Stringer do the same more often than not.

Welcome Duursma

Sometimes I get really sad about the state of the world, then I'm reminded that people like this exist

 

[Jobe Watson]

Play him as a rebounding defender. We still haven't covered that area of the list so far this off-season and it's a clear hole in the team. We don't need him as a winger - Martin is way better offensively and Durham much better as a defensive winger. Let him use his running capacity to attack out of D50 and down a wing ala prime Whitfield.

Also made the senior Mid Gippy team of the year, named on the wing. Its a rubbish football league, but still a good effort from half a dozen games

[Duckworth]

I’m sure all the courageous talk is a pisstake. Did he not squibb a lot in the finals… hard runner, yes. Courageous, no.

edit: I'll take it back, and say that I got a misread on him.

banging my fist on the table hooting and chanting “gippy boys gippy boys”

He is courageous.

Think it was more fumbled a few under pressure than actually squibbing a contest. He is certainly not a player who plays a physical beast game but from what I have seen he is not a squib .

 

[Lore]

Apparently in 10 minutes

Ok. That’s a good one.


Hope he does well with your mob.

No. He made some silly fumbles. But his courage and effort cannot be understated.

Manager was only quietly confident this time yesterday
