FIRST round talent Xavier Lindsay has made a successful return to action with a 22-disposal, one-goal performance from just three quarters on the Gold Coast.

It was his first football since Gather Round against Essendon, where he says he lost his burst and dash before groin soreness sidelined him for an extended period.

Watch as Lindsay sat down with Melbourne Media below.
