    30% on the bench as well (vs Tigers)

    11 marks for a youngster is a standout stat. Shows he's making position well and creating seperation

    And 21 possessions at 71% DE is more than acceptable for an 18yo

    The future is bright!

    Regardless of what pick Essendon end up netting from our finish this year, I feel very comfortable knowing that we'll have these two jets lining up in our midfield for the next 15 years.

    Another Jason Taylor special.

    There's nothing I don't like about this kid, I've got question marks about Kolt and Langford but Lindsay just makes me happy.

    Looks skinny on TV but surprises me in real life, bigger than I thought and think he'll build a great frame in a few years.

    I don't think so.

    I have question marks too. Not major doubts but concerns he won't quite be the player I thought he would.

    Obviously, it's very early days and I'll watch closely with interest, as I'm sure we all will.

    Langford is one out of the box. Very special player. My observation on him prior to drafting him - is that he could be a key forward, such is him dominance forward of centre as a junior. What he is doing currently, on the wing, and sparingly in the middle, off of a limited prep (as a first year player), is something to get excited about. In addition, i thought he looked lazy at times last week, but within the space of a quarter, I saw 3 one percent acts. Suggests he probably has a limited tank and is conserving his energy, and going when he can, which is smart, and to be expected in year 1.

    All I’ll say is that if it were Collingwood players getting nominated for Rising Star nominations, their fans wouldn’t be questioning how good they actually are…

    Seriously, just enjoy the fact that we have some quality young talent coming through

    I hate Collingwood but Jesus they celebrate their players no matter what. Even when they’re pure [censored] they find one good thing and that’s good enough for them haha we find one bad thing and that’s enough for us to say they won’t be any good.

    Congratulations to Xavier "Spreadsheet" or "X" Lindsay!

    He is an excellent kick and very cool, calm and collected with football in hand.

    A well deserved rising star nomination for the Melbourne Demons! 🔴🔵👹

    Picks 6 and 11 are looking like the 2 best players available from last years draft

    Obviously extremely early and Jagga injured plus Lalor looking good but you have to say amazing drafting and development by the club

    Out of interest what are your doubts on Langford. I think he looks a rippa, every bit as good as Lindsay.

    Pleasantly surprised by this nomination. Not the nomination itself, but the timing of it. I just didn't see last week's game as being worthy of the nomination. It suggests to me that the selection panel wanted to make sure that he got nominated because he may well be the type of player that is worthy of consideration for the annual award while never actually having a single dominant game.

    What I'm really talking about is a major flaw in the Rising Star award. A player can become nominated by having just one stellar game in the season while consistently good performers without one dominant game could miss out on eligibility.

    Right, I have found a copy of Das Kapital but cannot find any reference by Marx concerning Langford. Footballers control of the sherrin factory and the means of producing goals is as close as I can stretch it.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
