If we pick up Lindsay it will be like picking Toumpas, Scully, Trengove, Morton and Weideman all in the one go.

That'd be quite a versatile player!

Hasn’t worried Caleb Daniel 
Size is not the main requirement for AFL if you have other boxes ticked. Teams need all different types of players remember mostly someone has to mind a small player and be skilled enough to counter cleverness. 

Ah yes it has worried Daniel.

And I posted ‘slight’ - which is different to small. He looks to have a great kick in space. Everyone does. I don’t see any elite aspects to his game and you need at least one to be a top 15 pick

You rarely go broke picking high quality left footers.

Don’t love the value when we potentially sold the farm for the pick, wish he was a little bigger, faster or more explosive but get him the ball and he should produce the goods

Oh dear. 

I'd suggest a complaint in writing sent to the club frappa

 

Always rated the kid

 

Seriously, what else can you do but embrace it…

Hes injured isn’t he? So maybe off HB at the end of the year?

Absolutely stoked to have Xavier here. Could have caved and gone for the shiny Tauru if he was available but I'm not sold and happy for Saonts to have him. We showed some guts and drafted for a need. Can't wait to see Xavier out there in the red and blue!

PCL but a while ago now, should be fully recovered and if we took him this early he better be a good natural runner. I think half back suits him best no matter what and he should push Salem/Howes/Bowey for the half back ball users 

We've been crying out for good kicks and smart footballers, well here he is. 

Get him in the gym with Tracc and let's [censored] go. Really happy with this!

I am 100% behind Xavier and hope he has a great career but I’m 100% confident Tauru is going to be a better footballer at AFL level - time will tell I was really hoping Tauru would slip to our pick so this one is a bit bitter sweet 

Absolutely thrilled with this pick up. A fantastic user of the football and exactly what we need. Think of him as a mover in the Windsor mould.

Welcome Xavier. From some of the comments, you may be the first ever whipping boy yet to play a game. Prove em wrong

"A left-footed medium defender and midfielder who displayed enormous footy nous in reading the cues to win the ball before making good decisions when distributing. A neat kick and aggressive tackler, he also showed good natural speed and agility." - Kevin Sheehan

I think Xavier Lindsay is possibly still in the MFC mix at “9”… he’s elite skill and ability to play inside or outside mid might be a good compliment if we get a Langford at “5”.
 

Twomey write up on Lindsay is …

 

PD_xavier_lindsay.jpg?width=1511

Xavier Lindsay established himself as a first-rounder at the back end of the national carnival, when he picked up 30 disposals for Vic Country against Vic Metro and locked in his All-Australian guernsey. He took that form into the back end of Gippsland Power's season, storming home with a run of consistency and taking out the Morrish medal as the competition's best player. He is a left-footed midfielder who can play anywhere around the centre square – or inside it – and has a piercing kick that complements their other mix. 


 

THIS ON THE MONEY,... BLOODY WELL DONE

Last weeks Coates League player of the week was Gippsland Power captain Xavier Lindsay.  Had 32 disposals in the midfield, with high efficiency, using his left foot deadly disposal.  He had the good mix of skill, smarts and athletic ability.  Lock him in as a future star.

Yes yes yes. We’ve all said things

Its about what the bloke does from here

Played footy with a bloke currently a trainer with gippy power.

 

And I quote

 

"Going to be a star! Great player, better person."

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.

The problem of forward line "connection" must be rectified.

Too right! A very good choice has been made.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’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 wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
