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

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Growing up in the Latrobe Valley in the 70s & 80s, I was surrounded by Maltese. But I was pretty much the only NMFC fan.

Their misfortune.

Actaully never found out if Grima was actually decendant from Maltese heritage.

Grima is a common enough Maltese name.

Xerri stuck out and piqued our interest with a masterful "walking the dog" using a very rare green and white Leeds (lemonade) yoyo. We were transfixed!

If he was going to use a yo-yo, surely it would have been Xerri Cola.

 

[Smoocher]

The main VBU shop steward at Toyota Altona was Maltese bloke and he was 6 foot 5 120 kegs - he would always say all his brothers were 5 3!

Did he ever mention how tall his postman was???

He is a fantastic athlete for a big man.

Really switched on kid as well with his schooling ect. Long way to go but has all the right building blocks there.

He's a ripping kid too! Well mannered, Gets along with everyone, listens when people speak and very coachable! Good luck to him! As he posted, playing for North has always been his dream!

Have heard nothing but good things about him from a mate who is involved at the western jets. Good people at footy clubs creates good culture. Looking forward to seeing his progress over the next few years.

If this post is anything to go by, your name is false advertising.

Yep your mates right! Ripping kid ripping family! The hours/days his family used to put into club functions were incredible. Not to mention the way his mother used to go out of her way to get to know a new WAG and make her feel welcome! Can't speak highly enough about that family! Anyway good luck with him! I really hope he finds his feet and stars for your mob!

Bonus points for his use of the word "grouse".

 

[Firestarter]

Always grouse to be reminded that he's also a supporter.

 

[tales129]

GROUSE!!!

 

[ozzyoslo]

Certified BFNAAK!!!

Whats more important is his ol' man has also supported Nth Melb as well...........he'll know the history, he'll have an opinion outside in inner scrotum as is for many of us here and have an opinion on the way the VFL/AFL media etc has treated us whilst he was growing up...... the passion will be genuine from this lad.

From the video from training he managed to get a hand onto the ball against the stronger boys.........giddy up !!
He could end up seriously be a player for this club.

Since GR is spending all his prize winning cash

People talk about the Bfnaak kids but think about being the parent.

You get toured around as a vip by the club you've savoured all your life because your kid has been chosen to be part of them.

What a trip!

Cant wait for this lad to be smashing the door down....it'll take time I know. But its easy to see he has got the drive to succeed , the pressure is within his family.
