AFL Player #28: Xavier Duursma 🏹

[MiguelM]

With all the talk of Kelly shining on the wing in preseason I would give Dursma a shot at a mobile forward and Kelly to wing. He can take a good mark.

At least try it for a quarter. Nothing to lose.

 

[ant555]

Been a bit average possession and impact wise offensively but his efforts to be in the back half and work the defensive role have been solid. Would like to see a bit more for sure but he has been running both ways and working on nailing down the role.

well if you do not know what you are looking at then you will not see it ..

 

[brain taylor]

hasn’t set the world on fire but i reckon he’s doing okay, agree with ant re: defense and running

 

[fairbump_playon]

Feel like his disposal is a bit sloppy. Errant handball here, slight overkill there.

Does he play for Essendon

 

[Happyskeret]

I want archery as it will guarantee goals. I hope he can start hitting the bullseye.

 

[Zach Package]

s**t yeah, good boy.

Owned a couple of massive moments

 

[Megabattimus]

We got to see the bow and arrow today. Hopefully we see it more this season.

Good game, Mr X

 

[brain taylor]

hell yeah

 

[Blind Turn]

Won me over today.

 

[WindyHillZephyr]

Could the club buy the kid an oversized quiver?

 

[eth-dog]

First half great, second half solid.

 

[brain taylor]

reckon he’ll get involved more and more over the season, runs his ass off to provide an option and they looked for him more today, just needs time to really synch up with the group

 

[Yoda_]

Can see why he went as a first rounder, once he gets into the system a bit more, he could become a really valuable rotation with the runners were building in the tramlines. Going to be needed with Durham potential shoulder reco (unconfirmed)

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

hope he’s ok looked he hurt his wrist
/arm near the end.



That chase down tackle tho…

great game

 

[ant555]

First half great, second half solid.

Yep . Just has to iron out the little errors.

 

[Howard Moon]

Has arrived.

 

[Happyskeret]

Super impressed with him today you can see when he is going that he is an upgrade sort of player on last years list. He does that thing that port Adelaide players are very good at in kicking long deep precise passes or goals into the forward line from outside 50.

 

[bennyg12]

Was great today

 

[Vindicater]

Runs so hard and holds his space. Really understated team.

 

[Pweter]

Really liked his work to get back and help the defence, was very noticeable on tv. Offensive efforts were a bonus.

"The Essendon Arrow" they called it on tv. Sounds alright, it'll do me.

Hope the wrist is ok

 

[Nicholas61]

The run is so important and antithetical to the typical Dodoro selection. Was looking to be a gun at Port until the concussions and injuries. Just doesnt need to be kamikaze in the air but run both ways, stick tackles, compete and shut down space.
