Xavier Leslie

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Hey all,
I have a mate up here in QLD who said he used to go to school with a kid at Melbourne Grammer called Xavier Leslie.

Apparently he is also the grandson of a former Carlton brownlow medalist.

He said this kid is a gun and was seen as a future AFL star.
Does anyone know anything about him?

Cheers...

I've heard he's a freak, haven't actually seen him play though

 

[GeeCat]

There was a earlier thread on him here .

 

[Mighty Blues]

Thats Xavier Ellis GeeCat, he's touted as a good player in next years draft. Nick is talking about Xavier Leslie who played for Sandy Dragons and Melbourne Grammer.
He is currently training with the BLues but since he was overlooked by Vic Country and didn't get an invite to the Draft Camp his chances are thin, although i'd love him at Carlton because of the family ties!

Yeah I remember that.
But I thought it might be someone else, as I was told "Leslie" and that is "Ellis".

Indeed it is; how very stupid of me for overlooking such a simple fact

Grandson of Carlton champ John James and although he gets it 30 plus times every game he can turn it over 20 of those times with poor foot skills.

 

[hirdy_05]

freak, i thought he had clean disposal on both feet but could be wrong. every club needs a ball winner and from what ive seen he wins the ball and lots of it...he should go rookie, made vic country last year bottom age robbed this year.

 

[dutchy12]

couldnt agree more a true ball winner, with great footy brain, one of the better ball winners that i saw this year without a doubt

 

[TheHeatleyStand]

Good ball magnet, lacks pace, isa small and doesnt have penetration in his kicking.
Worth a shot as a rookie but hes not a gun all round player.
(Thats why he wasnt drafted)

 

[dutchy12]

WHat the ****** would you know about Xavier's foot disposals and pace you ************. An absalute robbery he was not picked up or asked for the draft camp. One of the true Blue rolls royce of football with blood lines. Eat a dik

Calm down Xavier, you're still a chance as a rookie...

Footballers aren't racehorses Xavier.

 

[dutchy12]

Don't worry, I'm not sure who this drongo is, but I used to go to MGS, and these Will Harris and McCoy people, are merely players who play in the 'A' team at year 10 APS level.

Players to look out from at MGS are the aforementioned Xaviers (Leslie and Ellis), Gooley boys, Tom Hawkins (to Geelong F/S in 2006), and possibly Byran Vance, the younger brother of the dudded 1998 No. 6 pick in 1998, Murray.

MGS has not produced a whole lot of natural talent, and it is interesting that the school has now followed the Xavier/CGS path of extracting natural talent from the country. This is the case with the two Xavs, Tommy Hawkins and Vance. They may play exceptionally well at APS level, but it is doubtful that any of these lot can crack it in the AFL, with the possible exception of Ellis.

I saw a few games here and there by the MGS boys, mainly the ones played not on Saturday. I was able to watch the Scotch/CGS/GGS games in full. Why do you ask?

No wonder Murray Vance wasn't any good he became a father when he was 8.
