I hope for the best! 

I was filthy that we wasted a pick on Jeremy Howe in 2010. I really wanted Matthew Watson.

Stupid recruiters... 

 

He’s got a good physique for a semi outside player

Could be an ideal replacement for Salem in due course. Fantastic ball user, quick and outside/inside skills.

Not saying Salem is finishing anytime soon but he is spending a bit of time in 'sick bay' with injuries.

love it ❤️💙

Welcome aboard the Dee train Xavier.

2 skilled left footers in 1 night

As mentioned above 

Looks a bit like Pendles 

Highlights.  you don't expect errors highlighted  but he has enough speed , looks for others and seems to have awareness of opponents near him. And he seems to have enough time to do it all.

Go for it !!

Highlights package on the MFC website actually reminds me of Pendles. This kid is silk.

 

He's a little bit quicker than Pendles.

...but does have a bit of class about him.


Takes Rivers spot in the backline for me. Will be interesting to see if we try Bowser in a different roll this year as I think Xavier and Judd will be our two preferred distributors out of defence. 

What Lindsay said: “She’s probably on the money - I’d rather eat than cook,” Lindsay told Fox Footy after being asked about his mum’s claim that he can’t cook.🤣🤣🤣🤣

He also said being drafted to Melbourne is a dream come true.👏👏👏

Extract from post of 'Spirit of Norm Smith' yesterday:

"Lindsay is a player whose improvement areas are difficult to identify given he does so many things well, and has no glaring weaknesses. His best trait is arguably his ball use, credit to a raking left-foot kick when is often used to penetrate the attacking 50. He uses the ball well on the run, either wheeling away from stoppages or chaining possessions on the outside. Lindsay makes the right decisions and is largely effective in the short and long-range.  Lindsay's kicking is perhaps at its best when lowering his eyes. He is adept at gaining quick metres and compounding them by launching the ball long, but looks so slick when darting short passes inside, down the line, or to leading targets inside 50. Either way, he generates great momentum in attacking phases either as a connective outside runner or clearance winner.

My bold above - just what we need.

 

Is the adjective "raking" ever used for a right footer?

No it is not. A big kick of the ball for a right sided player is described as ‘booming’ ie he has a booming right leg.

Who isnt?

He's a type of pick I'm not sure we've seen for a while at the dees. I feel all our mid-picks have been absolute top echelons (Viney, Oliver, Bradshaw, petracca) so it's hard to know what to expect from him, and from the coaches in how they use him. 

From all signs, seems like a real footballer, so should fit a few roles. IQ, can kick, up for it and ready to go. Seems a good pick.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
