He came to at least play 30% ruck.
Most teams will be running 2 rucks from now on.
I watched enough to know he is a better kick than Xerri.. at goal in particularIronically, I watched more CCJ on TV (being in Sydney), and I guess I was less than impressed with him. And I've always liked what Xerri does in the VFL. I wonder how much of CCJ you actually watched? He lacks mobility and has an awkward kicking style.
Dead right with everything you have said here in my opinion anyway time will tell. Lets hope he kills it no matter were he plays.He could have stayed at Richmond if he was content being a forward who pinch hits in the ruck.
It's very likely that the opportunity to take over from Goldstein was a key driver in his move to North Melbourne. Apart from what I hear informally, he basically said as much in his interview on the club website.
he was behind lynch and reiwoldt as forward, nank and soldo as ruck and wanted consistent AFL time in 2022.He could have stayed at Richmond if he was content being a forward who pinch hits in the ruck.

Everyones a better kick than TristanI watched enough to know he is a better kick than Xerri.. at goal in particular
Honestly, just don't see that Xerri is a bad kick. He was a good kick in the VFL.Well the club thought enough to recruit a ruckman despite having X and Campbell. And have slated CCJ to spend more time in the ruck. His game up forward against adelaide was great and head and tails better than X produced all year. As for the kicking, X is literally the most awkward and worst kick in the comp, and probably the least athletic on our list. Hopefully they both improve and as the saying goes 'iron sharpens iron.' Competition is great.
Two years sounds right. He looks fit as * right now. If he's on one leg next year he'll still be good enough to play ⁶⁵-³⁵ ruck.I actually meant to write 2 years. Not sure why it only says 1. Will fix it now
Two years sounds right. He looks fit as fu** right now. If he's on one leg next year he'll still be good enough to play ⁶⁵-³⁵ ruck.
Stats dont lie. He is an absolute stinker. No debate.Honestly, just don't see that Xerri is a bad kick. He was a good kick in the VFL.
His highlights aren't bad:
Tristan Xerri highlights (2021)
Ruck-forward Tristan Xerri was dominant at VFL level in 2021 and made an impact at senior level in the back half of the season.www.nmfc.com.au
he was behind lynch and reiwoldt as forward, nank and soldo as ruck and wanted consistent AFL time in 2022.
He wasn't going to stay if someone gave him a fair offer.
He'll play ruck forward and rotate with goldy in 2022, as noble has said we want 2 rucks moving forward.
Not sure if he'll go into the 'main' ruck position when goldy retires but he'll 100% be sharing the position with someone and rotating forward.
My idea behind it was that 2 years would carry him to 300 games.Two years sounds right. He looks fit as fu** right now. If he's on one leg next year he'll still be good enough to play ⁶⁵-³⁵ ruck.
43% by foot and 60% total disposal efficiency ranking him 560th in the AFL. You can debate the semantics, the stats on the other hand indicate his kicking is shocking, horrible, needs considerable work, very very bad, well below average, cant hit the side of a barn etc etc. All seem less absurd in their description'Absolute stinker.' What an absurd description.
Great post.Xerri's disposal in general play is horrid and he is without doubt the least skilled player on the list. He competes like an animal though and is in immaculate physical shape so is giving himself every chance to play more seniors in 22.
Except Jed.Everyones a better kick than Tristan

Jed is bobby skilton compared to big XExcept Jed.
Of course, most rucks are ordinary by foot. Goldy is a dead set freak, rucks all day, kicks it beautifully. A few years ago was close to the best player in the comp. I hope X or CCJ become 1/2 thr footballer goldy was/is. Finally some genuine young talent to have a crackAnd if there was a stat for average height per kick he’d be right up there

"I think the competition is between Callum and Tristan, that's the competition," Noble told AFL.com.au in an exclusive interview at Arden Street this week.
