Xavier Duursma press conference - 30 April 2019

For a 19 year old, Xav speaks really well. Very impressive, and points to a guy who has a lot of confidence in himself and could easily find himself in a leadership role in 5 - 7 years time.

Whoever has the least tackles pays for lunch - like it!

Or as Roy and HG would say, "The Nijinski of NAB Rising Star nominees".

He's like our very own Todd Elton

 

[Loken]

He's just had an interview on SEN in Victoria.

He's more than just a good footballer from the sound of it.

Polite, smart and well spoken lad with a sense of humour.

Whoa settle down. #keepingalidonit

 

[Doctor Feel]

mfw Todd Elton kicked 2 goals in 10 games as a tall forward and Duursma has kicked 4 in 6 as a midfielder

For this reason, I reckon he's more like Matt Arnot who kicked 4 in 8 as a midfielder.

 

[Burton89onegoal]

The '21' jumper suits him perfectly. Grow his hair out a bit and we could be forgiven for thinking it's Braddles streaming down the wing circa 1980

I realise you wrote "circa", but Im going to be pedantic here, and put on the record that he didnt make his debut with Port til '81

 

[StonesThrow]

Port did well in the draft before they even played a game. Now they've played, I haven't seen a crop have so much influence on games as these guys have in their first year. It's unbelievable how these guys have come in from day 1 and continue to produce. Really going to set up your future

Love it. Calls a spade spade.
"We've (draftees) have had a massive impact"..."the boys in the recruiting department have done well"
Will you have a break? "Yep.. the bye"

Motlop's duursma's mentor? It should be the other way around.

 

[Ishikawa]

Here's another comparison for good measure - David Glascott, this one made by ex-Carlton player & now Gippsland talent manager Peter Francis who gives us a few more nice anecdotes of his attitude as a junior

Anyone ever see him play back in the 80's?? Got a bit of Duursma's lanky look.

He is a Lion. Go figure. He is at home with Voss and Rockliff — our Power Lions.

Nice write up here about Xavier's days at Gippsland Power...
