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!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
