Yes yes yes. We’ve all said things

Its about what the bloke does from here

You either sit back and wait for the draft night to see who our recruitment team pick or join in the fun and form opinions based on 2 min highlight videos.

The result was always going to be the same so why not get involved?

All a bit of fun.

    Xavier Lindsay Captain of Gippsland Power won the B&F for Coates League couple that with Harvey Langford VC and Lark Medalist, we are indeed getting a couple of young elite players with leadership potential.

    Good highlight package to show his pace, agility looks great

     

    He encourages forwards to lead ... with confidence. I hope Fritta, JVR and Chandler are taking his highlight reels seriously - Lindsay is just what we need.

    Welcome Xavier. Smooth mover with polish. Love that we have taken two lefties.

    Much needed skills, we've got too many bulls in the midfield but for all their greatness they skills can fail them from time to time.

    A classy midfield option to ponder....not currently rated in the top 5-10 in many phantom draft orders, but neither was Windsor this time last year

    The versatile left-footer has high appeal through simply being very good at a lot of things. He can play as a midfielder or half-back, he can change the game with his angled and precise kicking, he has speed and agility and since overcoming some injury at the start of the year he plays well most weeks. After being an All-Australian at under-18 level following a great finish to the championships with Vic Country, when he picked up 30 disposals, Lindsay has averaged 28 disposals with Gippsland and also hit the scoreboard, kicking 2.4 in those three games.

    Good call 👏👏

    Also stood up to be BOG in the biggest game of the year that had the vast majority of this years top ranked players playing in it. 

    It was notable and easily seen that he was more than competitive against the vast majority of top-ranked players in the draft this year; furthermore, he stood out with his ability to make fast, excellent decisions and to execute creatively, with good heads-up vision, wherein his kicking and movement were first class.

    We do, but we also don’t know how to kick on our right foot either.

    I'm just relieved that we picked up 2 mids. Based on his physique, I wasn't expecting Windsor to play from the get go. Hopefully LIndsay can do the same.

    I think the wing position helped Caleb slot in from the get go. Lindsay probably has a similar chance given he'll likely start at half back. Having Salem, Lever and May to learn under, will be great for Lindsay's development.

    Glad the Demons picked Xavier Lindsay who is an excellent kick and will provide "X-factor" to our team.

    We have been desperate to rectify the issue of forward-line connection for a few seasons now and hopefully Xavier's poise and skill with kicking will help the Demons.

    An educated choice with taking the best talent available as well as the covering of a vital need for us.

    In Jason Taylor we trust!

    That'd be quite a versatile player!

    I'm sorry Lindsay I didn't mean to say you were worse than those spuds. I honestly believe he will be the best player in the draft just because we got him with Essendon's pick.

    Yeah there's plenty of them, can't say I can trust them tho. Hoping XL is a more reliable kick than both those lads.

    If the Dees can trade in “pick 9” off the bombers, then I’d be keen on drafting Xavier Lindsay with this pick.  If we got either Lalor or Langford at pick “5” (inside mid bulls), Lindsay would be the perfect addition as a highly skilled left footer who can play half back or midfield. He captained the Gippsland Power team.  As previously written, he plays like Josh Kelly (GWS) offering the ability to win the ball in close as well as run and spread. Undoubtedly injury ended his year early and he didn’t test at the combine. He’s got class and skills to add a lot to our future.  

    Happy to see these cards 

    Langford at 5 

    Lindsay at 9 

    as I predicted and hoped for 5 weeks ago !!!

    Highlights and descriptions of him sound similar to Hayden Young at the same age. Would be awesome if he became anywhere nearly as good as him!

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
