Re: Tristan Xerri
Brady the nose said...
We were pretty clear with Tristan (Xerri) the whole way along, he understood that he felt he could get more opportunity at another club, he certainly wasn’t leaving because of any ill-feeling with the club or his teammates.
“He’s a very popular member of our team, he’s a 22-year-old fourth-year player that we’ve put a lot of time into, and we weren’t going to give him away for the level the saints were prepared to give, it’s as simple as that in the end.
If we were to let Tristan go, we would have had to replace him … so he’s too valuable to let him go for just a swap of late picks, it just wasn’t a consideration.

Rawlings also said this:
“As soon as the trade didn’t go down at 7.31 pm on Wednesday night I called him straight away and said, 'Mate, we clearly rate you higher than the other team does.'
Rawlings needs to take his hand off it. They don't rate him at all.
We offered X a two year contract. NM chose not to match it. So he has one year left on his existing contract.
X is now fourth or fifth rated ruckman for NM and will, in all probability, play the entire 2022 season in the VFL. That's how much NM rate him.
His value, if you could call it that, is what he gives NM as a VFL player, which is two fifths of not very much even if he tears it up in the reserves.
We apparently offered a future third round pick for X which is very generous considering where TX is at, on his football journey.

Most of these guys are one way streets, if you want one of theirs you'll have to pay overs, if they want one of yours, they want him for a song.

Re: Tristan Xerri
I didn't know that, sad to hear. Seems like he had the potential to be a very effective starting ruck.

Re: Tristan Xerri
I think it's fair enough what Rawlings said. If St.KFC were in the same position we'd probably be advocating exactly what Rawlings did. NM have Goldstein, Coleman-Jones , Xerri, Campbell and a 19 y.o ruckman Edwards. Goldstein is coming to the end of his career, Campbell is over 30 - in a couple of years Campbell and Goldstein will be gone. They'll have Coleman-Jones, Xerri and Edwards and Xerri will be entering ruckman maturity time. If they rate Xerri as a second rounder then fair enough.damienc wrote: ↑Thu 14 Oct 2021 9:38pmWayne42 wrote: ↑Thu 14 Oct 2021 6:01pm Brady the nose said...

Re: Tristan Xerri
JUST a week after St Kilda struck out in its pursuit of North Melbourne ruckman Tristan Xerri, the club has turned its attentions towards his former Kangaroos teammate Tom Campbell.
AFL.com.au understands the Saints have remained determined to bolster their ruck stocks after the Trade Period and have homed in on Campbell, who was discarded by the Kangaroos earlier this week, as a delisted free agent.

Re: Tristan Xerri
I thought they might look at Big Tom.
St Kilda has interest in signing ex-North Melbourne ruckman Tom Campbell as a delisted free agent, reports AFL Media’s Riley Beveridge.
The Saints tried to make a move for young Kangaroos ruck Tristan Xerri during the trade period, and Xerri officially asked for a trade, planning to sign on a two-year deal.
But North Melbourne wanted a future second-round pick for the 12-gamer and only willing to pay a future third, St Kilda baulked and the deal failed to eventuate. That saw Xerri remain at Arden Street and Campbell let go.
Now the Saints are interested in Campbell to back up Rowan Marshall and Paddy Ryder, with Shaun McKernan retired, young Sam Alabakis delisted, Paul Hunter uncontracted and mid-season draftee Max Heath still in year 12.
The 201cm ruckman joined North Melbourne in the 2019 pre-season supplemental selection period, playing 12 games in three seasons, after 42 games from 2012-17 at the Western Bulldogs.

Re: Tristan Xerri
He proved, in a short stint for the Dogs, he can get a tap, playing 22 games in 15, 16 and 17 averaging 25 hitouts per game.
Must have a decent engine too having achieved over 30 and as many as 49 hitouts in a good selection of games.

Re: Tristan Xerri
Seriously underwhelming. Another 30 y.o plus short term mediocre fill in. 9 years at the Dogs and Norf. 54 games. Underwhelming stats. There's gotta be a young fella worth a shot. Seriously, if our powers that be are interested in more end of their career mediocre top-up players then maybe GT and Benge have a point.

2017 he averaged 33 hitouts. At the end of that year WB let him go. Have to ask why.

Re: Tristan Xerri
I believe Campbell is a slight improvement on Hunter, but the list of available ruckman must be limited. You would think there is a developing/capable state league ruckman some where in Aus?

Re: Tristan Xerri
In 2021 our ruck back ups for Ryder and Marshall were McKernan and Hunter.
In 2022 our ruck back ups may well be Campbell and Hunter.

How much does he cost?st.byron wrote: ↑Wed 20 Oct 2021 7:30pmSeriously underwhelming. Another 30 y.o plus short term mediocre fill in. 9 years at the Dogs and Norf. 54 games. Underwhelming stats. There's gotta be a young fella worth a shot. Seriously, if our powers that be are interested in more end of their career mediocre top-up players then maybe GT and Benge have a point.

St Kilda has interest in signing ex-North Melbourne ruckman Tom Campbell as a delisted free agent, reports AFL Media’s Riley Beveridge.
The Saints tried to make a move for young Kangaroos ruck Tristan Xerri during the trade period, and Xerri officially asked for a trade, planning to sign on a two-year deal.
But North Melbourne wanted a future second-round pick for the 12-gamer and only willing to pay a future third, St Kilda baulked and the deal failed to eventuate. That saw Xerri remain at Arden Street and Campbell let go.
Now the Saints are interested in Campbell to back up Rowan Marshall and Paddy Ryder, with Shaun McKernan retired, young Sam Alabakis delisted, Paul Hunter uncontracted and mid-season draftee Max Heath still in year 12.
The 201cm ruckman joined North Melbourne in the 2019 pre-season supplemental selection period, playing 12 games in three seasons, after 42 games from 2012-17 at the Western Bulldogs.

Are we aiming to try and stay off the bottom of the ladder for season 2022 (because that saves someones career and they keep their job safe for one more year) or are we striving to become a top 4 team in season 2023 and beyond?
The question should be; How does getting Campbell fit into our plans? What the f@ck are our plans?
