Geelong Falcons Boys duo Josh Lindsay and Ben Rongdit have been selected in the AFL Academy Squad for 2025.

The pair are part of an elite 28-player list that helps prepare talented youngsters for the AFL.

Lindsay, who represented Vic Country at the under-16 National Championships last year, made seven appearances for the Falcons in 2024 while attending Geelong Grammar.

However, on AFL Grand Final day, the Newtown & Chilwell product turned heads, gathering 20 disposals and winning the best-on-ground medal for Team Heppell in the AFL Futures under-17 match.

Rongdit, who also attends Geelong Grammar, is eligible to join Geelong as a Next Generation Academy selection.

Injury limited him to just one Falcons game in 2024.
