Not quick for a rebounding defender type, but if his footy IQ is high it can more than make up for slight gap in pace. Others of note who weren't quick are Smilie 3.088 and Langford 3.2. Then again, Cripps apparently 3.23, so shows burst speed not necessary depending on your role, and they're both big bodied ball extractors who could dominate regardless.

would go past hore immediately and howes, amw pretty quickly too imo coupled with salems inconsistent availability and boweys lack of progression i think this is good business.

Query about his kicking technique. Seems to kick the ball from a high drop, similar to Trac. A bit of Frostball about him also, without as many errors. As mentioned in another post, he is a very modern day footballer - run and carry. That said, I think I prefer Lindsay's all-round game. I like the comparison to Josh Kelly, even Judd McVee.

Has definitely caught my attention of late.

Decision making is fair but I think he makes the quick decision quite well. 

I don't know what to make of his size though, would he sort of be like a new Hibberd? 

He competes damn hard though and I actually reckon his 1 on 1 defending is his main strength. Then there's the dash and rebound, I can definitely see him going top 10.

Gut feel says JT will have this kid high on his list.

Take the best mid remaining at 5 and then Travaglia at 9. Would be a great draft to complement Windsor and Kolt

He's the style of player we seem to like, plus with Rivers moving into the midfield it may make sense.

My initial thoughts when I saw his 20m sprint time was he plays fast don’t worry about the time.

But now when I watch him the feet are pumping but he doesn’t actually move all that quickly.

Still a nice player, but probably won’t be a line breaker at afl level. 

Given the skills and decision making are a bit iffy too I’d be a little surprised if he’s our guy at 9.

I don’t pretend to know about all the players you critique but is there anybody you like?

I like Lalor, FOS, Langford and Tauru for 5, unfortunately we might come up one pick short.

I don’t mind most of the rest of the top rated mids if available at 9, am intrigued by Armstrong and Shanahan and a few others.

Prime for us at 9. Fills a need and at worst is a running back type at best another damaging mid, would be like having a spare Rivers. 

Want.

I met his old man at the races yesterday and they seem like a great family.  We discussed whether it was better to be drafted or win the Derby 😂😂

JFC can we quit it with the Lindsay stuff 

Dude is nowhere near the level

Could definitely do with his rebound and run off the HB line.

Wings of Langers & Sharp with Toby and Duke on the back/forward flanks would really give us some running weaponry.

Definitely think TT is a strong option for the Dees at pick “9”.  I’m a big supporter of his style of footy.  Like his run and carry and energy. Reminds me of the Riv in his draft year.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
