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 👏👏

Thank god we picked a beautiful kick with many other great attributes 

Left footers just gave that sweet style

Fantastic combo with Langford. Very glad we didn’t get another big unit. we need variation

This bloke could play HB wing mid HF

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.

I've never really trusted anyone, Male or Female with Two First names but with XL I'll make an exception. Happy to have a nice kick at the club, we need them.

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.

I think you need to look through this thread again…

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.

It's the same with Guys with Girls names and Girls with Guys names. Apologies to those of you who do but...

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 !!! 
 

JT 👏👏👏👏

Well played

You’ve retained your humility 

Leadership material? He looks about 30 already, throw him in the leadership group :laugh:

Lindsay Gilbee vibes, who was a fantastic kick off half back for the doggies for 200 games. 

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!

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
