anyone else getting early Jordan Dawson vibes from Duurs (Nice mark, reads the play, brave, kicks goals) ?

Nope. Will be pleasantly surprised if he gets there but he's not been at the same level as Dawson was at Sydney despite having a good start to his career.

Just to temper expectations, I'm getting Tom Cutler vibes.

Answer is probably somewhere in the middle.

I'm having shotgun flashbacks

His knee is ****ed already? This ****in’ club…….

 

[citizen-erased]

Will run amok at Marvel. Didn't get a long with Ken for a while now - so a fresh start will be best for him.

Any insights into why?
Kenny seems to be a coach for all the players, rather than favourites. Though i may be way off there

my friend’s dad heard from a former port player’s dad that if you were on the outer you wouldn’t get any face time with ken, but that was back in like 2013 so idk if that’s still how he operates (sounds like it isn’t)

Sounds about right

Sounds about right

every time i hear something about ken, your megathreads make more sense

 

[Atavistic]

I hope he can become one of the great Duurs of history.

Will form a great three way wing/half forward combo with Martin and Durham.

Tommy Cuts, forever my boy, preserver of everyone's eggs. May Xuursma also pleasantly surprise us all.

You have done well here.

We haven't lost many players over the last decade that have gone on to be better players at their new club, but feel like Duursma could break this trend.

Has genuine courage, straight lines the ball like few players in the competition.

Just needs a good run at it injury wise and he will shine.

 

[Handyandy]

Best wishes and good luck to Xavier.
Very good player/ bloke who has had bad luck with injuries.
Could be the steal of the draft

Straight lines the ball like few in the competition? I’m sorry what

Hey just curious - what do you think about Duursma’s courage?

Prismal had a couple of ACLs. Not the same thing

Ken's a communist plant by the Chinese government so this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Prismal, or Burgoyne?
