A North Melbourne supporter growing up, Xerri fulfilled a lifelong dream when he was taken with pick No.72 in the 2017 AFL Draft.

A bullocking, bruising ruck with strong tap craft, he served a long apprenticeship under club champion Todd Goldstein and developed his around-the-ground game.

A clean run at things in 2024 saw Xerri rise to become one of the competition’s premier rucks, and in 2025, he took another step, taking home a maiden Syd Barker Medal by tying with Harry Sheezel.

He's now a cult figure at Arden Street, with his style of play and helmet a popular combo among fans.
