<\/a><\/p>\n

Promising draft prospect Josh Lindsay<\/a> is a 183cm half-back from the Geelong Falcons.<\/p>\n

The smooth-moving defender-midfielder hybrid entered 2025 with plenty of plaudits, most notably for his clean ball movement by foot.<\/p>\n

Lindsay claimed best-afield honours on grand final day last year in the U17s Futures Game and would be given the nod of B.O.G. once more in April this year in the AFL<\/a> Academy’s win over VFL side Coburg.<\/p>\n

Both performances saw Lindsay’s delightful left foot split open the opposition with precision, quickly having him crowned the best ball user in his draft class.<\/p>\n

Lindsay’s strong first half to the year continued with the Falcons and in his commitments with Vic Country, featuring among his side’s best in his bookending performances at the National Championships.<\/p>\n

Lindsay finished fifth overall in the Larke Medal voting and was named in the backline of the U18s All-Australia team, while Team of the Year honours in the Coates Talent League added to his list of accolades.<\/p>\n

Lindsay could earn a selection in the top 10 of this year’s draft, with clubs lining up beyond that mark on night one likely keen to acquire the rebounding backman.<\/p>\n
