List Mgmt. Welcome to West Coast: Xavier O'Neill (pick 28, 2018 Draft)

[Priddis Is Done]

Very very promising

Hasn't been given the opportunity yet in a game,

But what's his top speed like and acceleration ? Does he have the burst capability through packs ?

 

[KO_KO]

More importantly how tall is he and can he ruck?

Future looks bright

Reminds me of Judd

 

[omgfridge]

Geniuely excited every time he is near it. I think he'll take time to start being a dominant factor but lots of promising signs.

He’ll go on to make those who select the Vic Metro team look very silly for overlooking him.

If you knew the politics behind he Vic Metro squad selection then nothing would surprise you.

Very clean with his hands, and the turn he did at one stage right after picking it up off the deck was a thing of beauty.

Made of couple of bad decisions late by foot but nothing that can't be improved.

Keep him in for the rest of the regular season at least.

 

[Cuzz09]

Anyone got any highlights of his limited Eagles minutes yet?

Remember when we selected Brayden over him

The politics in any junior sport are frightening. I can only imagine what it is like in the big 3 - Aussie Rule, League and Cricket. Old boy networks must be in their element.

Agree with this, super clean below his knees and off the deck, he's a one grab player. Looks promising.

Anything with the word "Vic" in it is tainted in my opinion.

The place and everything they touch is s**t stained

Ainsworth has a small head. Sinclair areas.

Ainsworth has a small head. Sinclair areas.

Drives Mum's car to training and wears Dad's shirt to go out.

Down to Earth.

Well you are half right .

 

[bl4ke]

Hope he can become a regular in 2021!

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Fellow posters - we saw the start of what XON could do and I must say, he has won me over. Of all the midfield options coming through, XON is by far the best option.

He is balanced and can play the inside extractor but to me he excels as the player getting first ball get from Yeo or someone. He can also play the outside role (do not mix this up that he is soft, far from it) and he has proven himself as a half forward resting

 

[JDWCE]

Remember when we drafted him... the colossal moan of each and every bigfooty member. ‘Who the * is that’

Bloody glad we’ve got this point

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Missing the under 18's championships meant he wasn't in very many people's draft calculations. Considering that we took much earlier than expected I was surprised nobody really took any attention.

Xavier O'Neill

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "A smart, speedy midfielder who knows how to use the football."

afl.draftcentral.com.au

Here he was considered to be a late to rookie pick.
2018 was a pretty good draft for us. O'Neill, Williams and Cameron + Edwards. Jury's still out for Foley, but it's still quite a good haul.

Agree with 2018 (considering we were minus a first rounder) being a decent haul. At the time, it was a matter of order. A haul of Williams, XON and Cameron with a speculative Foley would have been good. My concerns at the time were the mids we overlooked when we prioritised Foley. Can't please everyone all the time.

Can someone make a XON 2020 highlights vid, please?

XONS package would be better than Braydens, let's be honest.



He also plays football better as well
