Harrison Oliver is a Melbourne supporter. Hopefully he returns in 2 years time.

Harry Armstrong drifting out lol. Clubs actually realising he's not that good.

Only very good players drafted so far and no one with a desperate need for key forwards outside Richmond. Faull’s more ready made which is important for Richmond, they could kill Armstrong by exposing him in a [censored] side.

Be surprised if he doesn’t go soon but we’re seeing the crazy depth of the draft right now.

I note that Xavier Lindsay from Gippsland Power is rated quite highly in the ESPN's top 50.

 

This is what they say about him...

"Lindsay oozes class with ball in hand as an outside midfielder, with his silky left foot a lethal weapon in his arsenal. He's an outstanding leader and garners rave reviews from coaches about the standards he sets. It's difficult to see how Lindsay doesn't succeed at the next level - he has huge positional versatility with a speed-endurance blend to go with beautiful skills. In a midfield-heavy draft he should be considered firmly in that top group.

Best traits similar to: Josh Kelly"

Should the Demons consider him with pick #9 perhaps?

Bump.

I think great minds think alike when it comes to Xavier Lindsay. 😉

I am incredibly pleased that Jason Taylor and the rest of the Melbourne Demons recruiting team recognized that we desperately needed more elite kicks in our team.

Having players that can hit our forwards "lace out" on the chest with kicks will definitely help us kick winning scores!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
