Do we assume that if Jagga Smith hadn't done his knee as well this wouldn't have happened. Either way it's good news as he has been showing good signs over pre-season and deserves a chance.

We must have sold the figurative soul to the devil to make the AFL do this. Luckily we are Demons so nothing really lost there. 


As I posted elsewhere:

With all respect and sympathy for Jagga Smith, thank god a Carton player was injured.

(yes, I am cynical.)

Some good news that out of the terrible injury AMW copped (get well soon), Jai gets his chance....we might have the physically biggest midfield in history if we played all of Culley, Petracca, Oliver and Langford in the one side

Funnily enough today is Jai Culley's Birthday on the 24th of February. 🎂

That's a pretty amazing Birthday gift to be put onto an AFL list (albeit due to unfortunate circumstances).

I wish Jai Culley all the best at the Demons! 👹🔴🔵

Love some mature bodies while we have our stars in their prime.

I’m glad his first name doesn’t start with the letter ‘S’.


Happy with this pick up. Impressed with some of his WC games.

Talk about sliding doors. If the game on Saturday ended 2 minutes earlier, then Jai would not be an AFL player this year.

I think this is the right call. I don’t think we’ve had adequate midfield depth for a while now and from all reports Culley has done everything asked of him, and more, this pre-season. 

I reckon we’ll see him in the side earlier than many expect, even if only for a handful of games.

The problem with losing AMW was that he was also going to provide decent midfield depth.

Magnanimity at AFL house? Devil to pay.

Gotta love the PSSSP!

Great mature age recruiting by the Demons

At the very least, Culley will keep players like Sparrow (and Langford) honest. Pressure on spots is never a bad thing.

An excellent long kick for goal by Jai Culley.

Hopefully he focuses on improving his pace.

Here's your chance Jai! Good luck and all the best at the Melbourne Football Club! ❤️💙

Looking forward to the Demon's media department doing a brief 5 minute interview with Jai over the next day or so.

No he wasn’t.

Smooth left footer also. They are known to kick to accuracy.

Me too.  I wouldn't have any idea about how to pronounce "Sjai".

 

Without seeing any of our recruits live, I’m going to stick my neck out, and say that our recruiters have done an outstanding job this off season.  Jai is just the latest of a great bunch! ❤️💙

I actually didn’t realise he was so big - 1.94 is massive!

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
