"PORT ADELAIDE defender Xavier Walsh has been suspended for the next two SANFL matches by the SANFL’s Match Review Panel.
Walsh was charged with rough conduct for a high bump on Glenelg’s Riley Holder late in the last quarter of Friday evening’s game at Stratarama Stadium.
The panel assessed the incident as careless with high contact and of high impact, though Holder returned to his feet and took the resulting free kick."

Going to be a brute of a player debuted well and did some nice things.
Excited to follow his progress as a Key Defender

Bay player should have been suspended for staging. Disgraceful

Don't mind the look of young Xavier. He's a strong body already, a scything left foot kick and not afraid to take the game on from full back.

Has aggression in spades, sometimes it bubbles over. Oh well

Sounds like someone with an attitude we need in the back lines.

High hopes for Xavier. Feel he's got a big future for us.
