Player Watch #38: Tristan Xerri - signed thru '29 - 2024 All Australian squad member - runner up '24 SBM

[King Corey]

Unsurprisingly Goldstein eclipses him in every category at the same age.



However Hamish was a much closer comparison.



I'd just about call them even overall. Hamish better as an all round player (marks and possessions) but Tristan stronger in more ruck oriented metrics (hitouts, tackles).

I'm not sure those stats reflect how good HMac was in '07. Dude was nailing goals from outside 50 on the run and had genuine presence.

Agree I thought he had a great season so was surprised the stats were as comparable as they were.

It's more a concession Tristan might be tracking ok than dragging big Hamish down.

Goldy had also played 58 games by the end of 2011
X is on 24

I adjusted for games played. X on 12 and Goldy on 13.... very small sample size but very close. Goldy was 2 years younger. Interesting question a everyone develops at different rates. What is the better indicator? Age or games played?

 

[TheBigHorne]

Xerri will develop into a fine ruckman. Not one of Goldy's calibre but he'll be a B grade ruckman imo.

 

[WesternRoo]

CCJ is in front of him and Goldy is still a mile in front of both.

Edwards is also in the wings, plus Comben can play as back up.

If someone offered us something ok for him, I'd take it if Goldy stays.

 

[Istanbul Roo]

Xerri and CJ have different strengths but I'd take Xerri before CJ every time. He is a much better ruckman.

 

[Devington]

I still hope that their differences allow them to compliment each other when playing together once Goldy is gone.

X is a far better ruckman than CCJ at this point. Like, miles better.

Probably agree. CJ has more elements of a forward-ruck but to date not a particularly effective one.

Xerri gives signs he could be a serviceable 1st ruck, as in perform the core duties of a ruckman without too many additional bells and whistles.

He should be watching Toby Nankervis vision non-stop. That's the blue-print for Tristan.

As a ruckman he isn't. In the ruck Coleman-Jones is more suitable for the opposition.

They are both average.

 

[Liam Boy]

I think we're being too down on Xerri because we've been spoiled by having Goldy for so long. X is a perfectly fine ruckman, he's unfortunately not one of the best tap ruckmen of all time who's also an incredibly crafty stoppage midfielder, a great runner who covers the ground all day getting to dangerous positions, and a great contested marking goal kicker.

 

[hellas_johnny]

if i was the choose out of him and CCJ for the ruck. this guy is ahead. CCJ was terrible as a ruck

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

I'd delist him but he is contracted until 2061.

 

[Shinboner1]

Gonna be interesting to see what happens with xerri and CCJ under clarko.
Both really need a strong fitness regime and stability.
Doesn't have to be an elite ruckman but he needs to be able to run out a game and compete.

You think Xerri is AFL standard?

You think Xerri is AFL standard?

You’ve never seen Hunter Clark play if you think we’d get him in a straight swap for Xerri.

Would you put 5 years of development into Josh Goater and then trade him in a straight swap for Lloyd Meek? Not a perfect comparison but that’s essentially the North version of what you just proposed.

 

[King Corey]

Mate if you can pull that trade off then next stop is Atu Bosenvulagi for Tom Stewart.

Rawling would get it done.

If he can manage to steal an uncontracted CCJ for pick 21 or whatever it was then nothing is impossible.
