    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
