Welcome to Essendon - Xavier 🏹 uursma

Unless he underperforms then it’s another Jackets classic.

I have to admit - this one example excluded - I hope he drops the silly archer routine. Attention seeking in AFL is pointless. It just means you fall harder down the other side.

Disagree. More personalities in the game please. I think it’s great when players have their own goal celebrations.

This team has been pretty miserable to watch. Tippa, Stringer, Reddog aside, not a lot of personality. I’m all for it.

Welcome Xavier.

hope to see lots of arrows next year.

he has loads of potential, hope that fitness and conditioning staff can muscle him up in the preseason.

I like the extremes- the overdone Rifleman or the Doull/Langford “just doing my job” lack of fanfare. I’ve seen enough"highlights" packages of fist pumps and raised arms.

I, for one, hope Duursma also has Hollywood anti-gravity arrows

Brings some much needed X factor to the team. That might be a decent nickname for him X factor, not to be confused with the TV show, which l have never seen. Welcome to the Bombers, go well and kick goals with both feet.

I think the best thing he’ll bring to the team is elite defensive running, which we need soooo badly.

He’ll be in our top 3 in the time trials immediately and will probably challenge Langers for best runner on the list

No way Langers is our best runner.

would be out of Cox and Martin Duursma third
A healthy cox would smash everyone.

why did he run so farking straight, moron, deserved to die

So Redman has to give up his celebration too ?

I hope he keeps it !

Redman is taking the pizs - it’s funny - it’s something he celebrates with his team mates. Looking at duursma as a port player, I thought it cringeworthy and (initially) premeditated. It also looked progressively worse as the goals dried up. Will be interesting to see if he mimics this with us.

brarnzy - you post 10x as much as I do, and I’m yet to see a single post of yours that offers any positive contribution to Blitz.
but keep trying, champ.

I’m glad we got him. If he really wants to play for us, that’s great! I’m also glad BZT’s gone. He didn’t want to play for us. It’s positives all round, so far.
