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.

    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.

    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 !!!

    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!

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
