Welcome Welcome to St Kilda - Alix Tauru!

[austinnn]

From the rookieMe website:

"Although not as tall as him, Tauru has been likened to West Coast stalwart Nic Naitanui due to his athleticism but he has also been likened to Hawthorn captain James Sicily in terms of his defensive game and aggressive attack on the ball, Sydney captain Dane Rampe due to his ability to rebound out of defence and to another degree, Port Adelaide utility Aliir Aliir

due to his versatility."

A blend of NicNat and Allir squared will do me, the similarities must be abundant in playing style because they sure don't look alike!

Welcome Alix!

 

[Sully111]

Reckon he'll be something special. Very impressive kid.

Welcome, Alix

 

[borderbarry]

Alix nd tobie wi[[ one become a midfielder.

 

[MordySaint]

Can't wait to call it out from Level 3 at Marvel...

TTAAARRRROOOOOOO

 

[Remboy]

From the HS 'Tauru is the prototype intercept defender. Can turn a game at either end'.

“I’ve never been one to compare myself to afl players, because obviously their up there and I am down here. But as I get cracking, I can be as good as any one”

Love the confidence! Reminds me of a certain someone in our team.

Travis Fimmel (Vikings)

”Aspiring to be a professional Australian rules footballer, Fimmel moved to Melbourne to play for the St Kilda Football Club in the AFL, but a broken leg sidelined him before the season began.”

Well it’s taken a quarter of a century but it looks like we finally got our Viking

Welcome Alix to the Mighty Sainters.

Who knows........down the track he could be nick named the "Blonde Bombshell"....ala Big Carl.

For the older posters on here.

If big carl beats the charges, SW, I'm happy to pass on any nickname. I'm still trying to get over the fact that he's been charged.

For me, Tauru, shall henceforth be known as Trevor Roo2 Tarau. That'll do pig. That'll do.

Forgot all about it tbh, quite a few questionable blokes in the shit atm for historical crimes. Better late than never.

I think he and Pou will get on quite well.

 

[goodie23]

Can't wait to watch him glow

 

[Veer Right]

I respect the confidence he has in himself and his ability yet he also comes humble and level headed. His parents have done well.

Super excited with his selection and what he brings for the future. I predict Thor levels of x factor!

I trust the system when it comes to historical sex crimes. Very difficult to prove, given the time that has elapsed and the, "I said - he said", nature of the evidence.

Him being the teacher of the alleged victim complicates things and increases the seriousness of the crime. If convicted, I'm afraid he'll get some jail time. Convicted sex offenders don't do very well in prison.

 

[lethalsaints]

This to me could be the best player from this draft.

The kid said that?
Shades of Pou about Essendon last year.
I love it!

 

[SteeleSaints]

Welcome to the Saints Alix, I cant wait to see your aerial prowess on the big stage.

 

[stavro#4]

Remember it might be a slow and steady approach with this one in 2025.

Coming off a back stress fracture right now and multiple other injuries in 22/23 because he grew very quickly.

 

[gringo2011]

Can't wait to see him play. I finally get a bit of a showman instead of another one of Richo's plodder squad. He's going to flatten packs better than Ikea.

We want the Viking and we want him now.

I'm thinking Bogan Barbie. Blonde locks, butterfly tattoo on his shoulder, wearing the ring on his finger to draft night. You would not think twice if you saw him fanging on a scooter in Bali with a few Bintangs. Just also happens to be a gun footballer, which is nice.
