He’s got a Brother also!7 marks, and I bet he took his whole 30 seconds each time before bombing it down the line. Very good player.

As the sequel for "give us a second and third for this ten-hour-braised Fantasia", it stuck in the craw.I can live with trading duursma
What gets me is we essentially traded a contracted 23yr old for an uncontracted 25yr old.
The one time we had the upper hand in the trade and should be dictating terms after years of listening to our own club openly say in trade week that it was on us to satisfy other teams in trades and we fold like wet lettuce.
Absolute piss weak it was.

I wouldn’t back us against either of them at the moment.Just Adelaide and North to go and they are coming.
Seen the ladder lately? Seen how we are playing lately? Happy with Zerk-Thatcher lately?Yep, led by superstar Xavier Duursma. Multiple Premierships incoming. Great team
i think you are vastly overstating the influence of duursma on our club lolSeen the ladder lately? Seen how we are playing lately? Happy with Zerk-Thatcher lately?

He looks better without Esava there confusing everyone lolZerk-Thatcher was one of our best last week.
Has had some injury problems but would be our best defender this year.
Trading a player like Duursma is a statement on the type of player you value at your football club (ie you don't value players who put their head over the ball and give unconditional effort). Our increasingly bruise free style of football should come as no surprise in that context.
Tbf, he was playing on a guy who'd done his PCL.Zerk-Thatcher was one of our best last week.

The mistake we made with Duursma was trying to bulk him for more inside work, his gift was getting on his bike on the outside and running all day in his early Port days. The thing that echoes in my mind is him saying he needed to "learn to run again" after putting on a few kilos.. madness.Not sure what you’re saying here TK.
Duursma epitomises outside bruise free front running football to me. Zero problems with trading him out.
The specifics of that trade is another issue entirely. But I personally think we did alright there too.
Watching Craig McRaes presser…as controversial as this opinion may be…there’s a lot of Hinkley about him. He’s actually being asked follow up questions about tonight’s result though lol
He is Ken Hinkley if Ken won in 2014.Watching Craig McRaes presser…as controversial as this opinion may be…there’s a lot of Hinkley about him (not in glowing way lol)
