List Mgmt. Welcome Josh Lindsay (Pick 19, 2025 National Draft)

[Bender_]

Messi like.

 

[BSD]

This is Jacob Brennan erasure and I won't stand for it.

Jacob who ?

 

[donpyke92]

Moved in with [PLAYERCARD]Liam Baker[/PLAYERCARD] & Tom Gross.....I like this a lot.

#welfare check on Tom's Perth Dad

# Bakes improved kicking by osmosis living with Josh would be crazy good

 

[Mattman93]

Already turning some heads at training with kicking skills.

I went looking for it but couldn’t find the article but it was relating to Lindsay mid year where his teammates mentioned they just ran into space because they just knew he’d hit them up.

Whilst looking for it, I found this article.

AFL Draft: Kicking specialist lauds dead-eye draft prospect

"He's going to be able to open the game up."

www.zerohanger.com

This specifically.

Speaking on Craft of the Draft, Growden analysed the kicking abilities of some of the top prospects for 2025, with Lindsay among the standouts.

"He's poised, and the one thing I can see technically is the grip around the ball, it's what you want," Growden said.

"He does a lot of those slightly around-the-body type of kicks. So when I say around the body, you're getting your hips a bit more into it. He's going to be able to open the game up.

"Coming out of the backline, opponents aren't going to know where he's going. He gets that little bit of hip rotation. If he's coming out of the backline, opponents think he's going one way, but he can pull it back in and open the game up so much


We’ve had some good kicks at the club but I genuinely don’t recall the last one we’ve drafted being described like that. Maybe Hurn? Who also slid in his draft year too.

Hopefully gets a full preseason and we can see him in the Side early.

Not drafted but Jetta was the last player like that. Hurn kind of the opposite -- insanely accurate and reliable kick but very straight line and it was never a mystery where he was lining up to kick.

On draft night should have had Jetta come out of the crowd and kick a jumper across his body through a gap straight onto Lindsay’s chest.

Would have been the proverbial passing of the torch.

 

[Knifey Spoony]

Can't wait to see this lad hit a left foot sizzler into the corridor at Optus. Hope the crowd gets up and about for it as well

 

[Dark Sharks]

Personally i'd like to see him give them the 'shake and bake' with the elvis hips and launch one from the paintTM

 

[Opposite Kids]

My guess, plays round 1 and has a great year. Strong candidate for rising star. Year 2 and 3 all the attention comes to him and tags. How he gets passed that will see how great a career he can have. Wishing him all the best and he’s a gun for us.

 

[Goomba1973]

Lindsay doesnt have the running ability of Gulden unfortunately

Gulden doesn't have Lindsay's left foot ... so horses for courses really

pretty good small interview the club has posted, still seems very level headed and a good speaker. Hopefully he can make a debut early and lock down a backline position, we need more players with his level of class.

He's definitely someone I got penciled in for an earlier than expected debut. The way he talks about preparation, professionalism and doing extra work has been the exact kind of thing we've lacked from the guys we've drafted for the longest time

I’ve never been as impressed with the attitude of our draftees as I have this year. Exceptional young men and pretty clear we’ve put a high value on this.

Yep, it's been real refreshing. It helps that we were so awful and stone motherless last since day one of the season that Duurs and CDT have had the year to prepare that they're heading west and are looking forward to taking this head on, Lindsay was just a great unexpected bonus.

Lindsay sounds like great leadership group/ Vice captain material if he hits it off.

GETTABLE: Young Sun 'keen' to move, Dons' next trade play, another million-dollar Lion?

Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge address Charlie Curnow and Harley Reid news, reveal July's Phantom Form Guide, answer your questions and are joined by draft prospect Josh Lindsay

This interview really sold me on Josh spoke very well and would of been happy to have him with one of our top picks wouldnt rule out rule out a [PLAYERCARD]hayden Young[/PLAYERCARD] style move to midfield and if i was a betting man hes defo the most likely to reach 200 games of our drsftees

Someone said Lindsay doesn't have Guldens' running ability....he wouldn't now because he's 18, but their 2km time trials at their respective combines' were identical at 6.32. 20m sprint times the same too.

So we've got the next Gulden!!!!
