Welcome Welcome to St Kilda - Alix Tauru!

This guy has a bit of rockstar energy. If he can deliver on his talent he will be very marketable for himself and the club

Welcome to St Kilda Alixzander Tauru.

I think watching Alix play is going to be so much fun. Looking forward to the helmets on game day and a conch blower joining the cheer squad!

Alix had an outstanding combine and has the leaping ability to become that elusive forward / backup ruck.

i think our training watchers will be thoroughly entertained.

Back to the future … fair to say I’ve already told my Viking that she needs to be ready for his debut

Holy moly that is a winning outfit. Up there with the best!

He is literally a good rookie season away from being our most marketable

This kid was being paraded around by adidas a few days before the draft doing autographs signings - when it looked like a chance he went pick 2.

I want to see Tauru as a forward.

Settle him in down back for the first few years mate.

Forwards take a beating and it would be nice to let him find the feet just needing to read the ball of a back shoulder

Agree with that.

I think long term with his ability I’d love to see how dangerous of a forward he could be.

Really looking forward to seeing him prove how true that is.

Nas, Pou and now Tauru sensational pickups around the 10 mark

Interesting thing is he could have gone 2 or 5 depending on how things had panned out. Looks like a steal, hopefully he gives North a few regrets.

Got some real deep self belief which is so hard to teach. Roo like levels if you ask me.

No coach is ever going to have to encourage the Viking to fly for his marks. He’s going to back himself in every time.

I think in five years time he will be at the top of all the pundits redrafts, as a pack marking, game breaking, tall forward.
