Xavier Duursma
Duursma is still out of contract at Port.
Is he worth pursuing?
He’s been a bit of a show pony but he does have a bit of skill and speed.
Has he got any upside that Lyon and co could potentially exploit?

Re: Xavier Duursma
Interesting. Maybe worth pursuing. What’s happened with our interest in Bergman?

Re: Xavier Duursma
I think Port have used a few others in the middle and with Willie Rioli coming into the side plus Jason Horne-Francis, he wasn't' getting as much opportunity
Duursma was playing the high Half forward role with some time in the middle.
He had a terrific start to his career and was travelling ok until a couple of injuries including a very heavy concussion. He lost a fair bit of confidence and he hears footsteps these days. Drops marks too easily
Maybe a change and some consistency in one position might help him get back to top form

Re: Xavier Duursma
I think the knock on Duursma is his disposal is ordinary, we have to avoid these ball butchers.
Will we pick up a player in the SSP window

Re: Xavier Duursma
Ah, right. I guess we don’t really need that type of defender, anyway.

Re: Xavier Duursma
He’s bog average
Gets lumped in with superstars Rozee and Butters because he was drafted with them
But he’s nowhere near their level
Possibly the most overrated player in the AFL

Re: Xavier Duursma
Someone should take that pretend bow and arrow off him and shove it up his Duursma, before he takes out a pretend eye.
If we did recruit him, he has to leave it in Adelaide.

Re: Xavier Duursma
From memory his uncle who played in the 80s was ordinary too.
Draw a line through him.
Mods, close this thread.

Re: Xavier Duursma
Only take him if he brings his brother.
The brother is a gun, Xavier is average IMO.
Xavier is the Tony Brown in the Smith, Jones, Brown trilogy to Roozee, Butters, Duursma.
The other two are very good and he is well below them.

Great comparison to Smith, Jones & Brown.
