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

[Go_Roos!]

Played just as well in the AFL as he does in the VFL, a good sign.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

Showed some signs, good bit of mongrel and could be worth a run of games before Larkey returns.
Needs to hold a few marks and grow back the Wolfman beard to be considered for regular selection.

You mean the McCann beard?

Disagree I think the prior rule is a joke. Ball hits the ground should be gone. Reward the tackler

Reward the player who goes and gets the ball. That was not and should not be htb.

Yep, it’s the Stephen McCann crossed with a werewolf look.

"Can't wait to see the X rub Sicily's face into the ground."

Close enough

Watching the tv, I thought he was about to get weeks for that hit. Silcily looked like he was shot by a shotgun.

Freaky.

Life mirrors game day kangaroo gif.

 

[King Corey]

Still shot made me think Billy Hartung had made a comeback.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Could it be the new dawning of the big hard man?

I told you folks that he's prepared to use that big frame in a destructive manner.

I'd kill to have a young "Roger Merrett" type on our list. It's exactly what we need to compliment our young talent.

Liked his game. If he holds 2 of the marks inside 50 gets couple shots on goal we would be talking different. Deserve another crack at it.

 

[Snake_Baker]

People should remember that Goldy only had 4 touches in his 1st game and 3 of them were clangers.

Tristan still has a hell of a lot of development to go yet. Look for the instinctive traits as a measure of his potential.

I think his first instinct is to smash blokes.

I like him.

You must’ve missed fantastic first games like when N.Larkey hot off the heals of kicking big bags in the VFL, had 2 hit outs for a game.
It’ll be an interesting time down at Arden Street in a few years coz I’m tipping these three, plus Comben, will all be staking a claim for a spot. Big Ben might not be an automatic starter.

CZ could do with a 105kg "partner in crime" down the track.

 

[DesertRoo]

I’m really interested in what Shaw values in a key forward..
A long time ago there was the if you can’t mark, you must get the ball to ground, and if your flying in the air, try to do some damage.

Hear hear. Got his hands on quite a few, all it takes is one or two and the tide turns

Dunno why folks have jammed him in the forward box. He's a very nice palmer of the ball, and still only 94kgs, which is very light for a ruckman.

No doubt he's a ruckman, but he'd be advised to enhance his forward craft. Goldy's going nowhere for quite some time.

And he has a great teacher on the ground with him.

94kgs sure maybe when he was drafted..

Fair enough, but there's still plenty of meat to go on those bones mate.

He's not a string bean type morphology.

 

[giantroo]

BTW, it wasn't his only hit on Sicily. He actually made him earn it in a marking contest and another where he accidentally stomped on him.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I really like him but I don't think we can play all four of Larkey, Brown, Goldstein and Xerri.

Gotta love those "accidents" mate.
