New footy star on team Flinders<\/strong><\/p>\n

Port Power star Xavier Duursma<\/a> commenced a Bachelor of Sport, Health and Physical Activity at Flinders University this year, foreshadowing a great start to the year with his team. The teenager has won much praise from AFL commentators since drafting to Port in 2018. He starred in Port\u2019s recent showdown win where they beat the Crows by a record 75 points, with Duursma\u2019s three goals lauded as instrumental to the team\u2019s biggest showdown victory yet.<\/p>\n

With a remarkable 22 games out of a possible 25 played over the last season and a bit, this last weekend may see a change of pace for Duursma. A hamstring injury suffered during the game against Fremantle is likely to put him out of action for a few weeks, but the talented youth will no doubt be back to full form soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
