    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
