This footage just goes to show how elite Lindsay could be and how fortunate we are to have both these young guns at the Deeโ€™s.

I usually don't comment on highlight reels of new players because that is exactly what they are - poor play doesn't appear.ย  But this performance seems to show the bad as well as the good because it shows him turning the ball over by foot and hand a large number of times and just bombing it.ย  I assume that the BOG awarders and our recruitment team saw enough good to overweigh that.

Just worked out who this boy reminds me of and itโ€™s a young Roland Orzabal, the guitarist/vocalist of Tears for Fears.

Hopefully Xavier and the Dees can rule the footy world.

Exactly how player highlights should be.

I have it on good authority that theyโ€™re all confident heโ€™ll never turn the ball over againย 

Regarding the way Lindsay positions himself for contact, I see that as more a way to dispose of the ball more accurately while getting knocked off balance. He prepares himself for the tackle / bump and ensures his hands are free and his body is aligned so that when the hit comes, his centre of gravity isn't knocked too far off line.

Think we're sitting on a winner here.

Very happy with this draft, I think we're going to surprise some people next year.

That'sย  right (imo)ย  This lad is a thinker.

Looking forward to seeing him develop into quite likely a very good player.

We've had some talent draftees in the pastย  but they didn'tย  all transition.ย  Some were 'skilled' but got caught out .ย 

What becomes salivating is the prospect of the likes of Lindsay as well as Langford playing alongside withย  Oliver, Gawn, Viney, Lever, Pickett....

Again not really expecting to see him afield that much in 25.ย ย 

But he will put his hand up ;)ย

What about Trac ? And why so half glass about Xavier in 2025?

I think he will adjust very well and expect he will play more than half the games in AFL in 2025.

Being devils advocate.... we don't bring in kids so expeditiouslyย  these days.ย 

If he does...fine.... I just don't expect club to do that.ย  ย But ... I'mย  often wrong ( ask the wife ๐Ÿ™„ )ย

Numbers announced at training this morning in Mansfield. I only heard Lindsay #20 & Langford #19.

Makes sense if Kolt is taking 12 as reported. 19 and 30 are next lowest available with 10 reserved for Andy Brayshaw.

Xavier is listed at 183cm. Goodwin is 185cm. How is Xavier taller than Goodwin in this picture?ย

If Goodwin is like me, he is probably shrinking a bit as he gets older.

Iโ€™ll admit to not having watched any of the kids this year so the following is based on YouTube highlights only.

When we drafted Rivers, the thing that stuck out to me as one of his strengths was his willingness to hit the contest with speed.

I see similarities with Lindsay. Itโ€™s not always successful but when it is it breaks the contest wide open. Combined with his skills and evasiveness, he seems like a very very good prospect. The rest is up to him and his application which I also believe to be top notch.ย

It wouldnโ€™t surprise me if Lindsey is closer to 185cm rather than 183. Same higher as trac. He should have some real size on him in a few yearsย

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
