Maybe he’s just a coach who needs the right coaches around him. We have that this year and I’m expecting a different team this year. Wingard who?

What a lovely kid. James Hirdish hair and all. Cant see him playing next year with that skinny frame but happy to have him at Ports.
So it is settled, the next James Hird.
Man those Uncle Kern clips are awkward

Good pick and hopefully will be a very good player, in spite of the negative "comments" from all the know-all amateur recruiters and wanna-be coaches!
This and every other pick for every other club.I think the Club knows more about the players they want, and not the keyboard warriors
How people who have never watched anything more than a highlights package can rate who 'won' or 'lost' the draft astounds me.
Don’t understand the hate. His highlights look great!

What’s done is done. He’s got speed and hunts the ball so it’s not like he didn’t fill a need in terms of list balance. And his disposal is okay from the clips I’ve seen. Hopefully he can put on some size and develop into the burst mid from stoppages that we need.
Time to get around him.

I’ll be very happy if he does, because I can see a good burst mid hiding in there. He needs to become an inside/outside mid with speed, the same way Rozee needs to become a better version of Wingard (mid-forward).
Put him under Boak’s wing, because that’s the sort of player he needs to become.

Xavier Duuudsma... amirite?
Good luck young fella. Prove the doubters wrong!

Certainly has that frame to turn himself into a unit that's for sure.
Plenty of nice intercept work in those highlights. Looks like a natural back flanker.
I didn't get that at all, to me that is the one thing Kenny is good at.

I’ll make tears from your Wines.
He looks a good player to me, especially with his size.

BT will have a field day with his name. All the more reason to love him.
Ken is very good at relationships with players, but looks to me like he's very bad at it when he knows it's being filmed. I can't blame him. It's very hard to be natural in such an artificial environment.
It's awkward Uncle talking to the lads at the BBQ time
If we want to look at the positives it’s his size. 185, but he has long arms and wide shoulders. His build could enable him to become a pretty strong unit.
I like his running. Pretty quick and the type that seems to steam forward like he’s on train tracks. Good burst as well.
Apparently a strong leader.

Let's hope he can unleash his inner X-Man.

Portia did go a bit overboard but I guess the wine didn’t help.
