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

[shinboner magic]

Master stroke by Rawling to sign him up early on the year - has save us big bucks

 

[Northwards]

I don't understand the incredible change with his contested marking. He went from a liability to elite mid-season.

He dominated the game today like a top 5 player in the comp would. A few months ago I had him marked down as just a solid player who could do a role, but nothing special.

Health/fitness and continuity of opportunity do insane things for a footballer. Throw in some confidence and really good things start to happen.

This bloke can hold his head up high. EVERY WEEK he gives everything he has.. pity our Captains cant.

 

[SunnyBoner]

He played like a captain.

Definitely a future leader

 

[DuckYeah]

He played like a captain.

Leadership group next year. Has to be. What an onfield role model. And he would spend $5 on wicked wings, my man!

Well glad you asked he went from standing flat footed in the middle of the contest with his arms in the air hoping to catch it. To approaching said contest and jumping into it. Hard to stop when you do that. And of course confidence plays huge part in achieving such things

I’d happily give him the captaincy next year. Let big X hold the mantle for a few years until Sheez is ready to take over.

Btw, the columns after DE% are intercept possessions, turnovers, clangers, pressure acts, tackles. They’re my usual stats for getting an idea of how well we did with pressure and looking after the ball.

Amazing to think where he can go from here.

The General would like a word about that last sentence.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Yesterday was the best game I’ve seen from a North ruck since McKernan in 96

He is a beast

[Flawed Genius]

Wait .. tackle of the year on Liam Ryan? When did that happen?

When he ran him down out of the centre



I believe that belongs to Mr Gilmore

That's an amazing tackle he didn't make.

My point is this - it was a ****en unreal chase but whoever it is that wrote that called it tackle of the year. They couldn't even be bothered getting what happened right.

Chase of the year? **** yeah.

Tackle of the year? Only if you're an incompetent clown with no idea what actually happened.

Sheez on the interchange bench Is an insult.

Sheez on the interchange bench Is an insult.

Not really. He can play anywhere. In a real AA side against other sides that's where I'd play him and I'd move him onto the HFF if things were going well.

All this build up is so that they can not pick him and have the media spend another six weeks debating whether it was the right decision.
