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! 👹🔴🔵

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
