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

Love that we've added another leftie.

I spoke to an Eagles supporter last week and told him we had recruited Jai.

He said Jai was a bit of a cult figure at the club and was popular with team mates and fans..

No, just a naughty boy.

Without seeing any of our recruits live, Iโ€™m going to stick my neck out, and say that our recruiters have done an outstanding job this off season. ย Jai is just the latest of a great bunch! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™
ย 

Your neck is safe Dof, for our recruiters have most definitely done a superb job ๐Ÿ™‚

Apart from his obvious talents on the field heโ€™s yet another hard-working, mature and dedicated player, and a lovely person, to boot.

On a personal note, thank goodness we got him because a couple of weeks ago I got him to sign my jumper ๐Ÿ˜… At the time he asked if I was sure I wanted him to do it and I said, โ€œDo you think Iโ€™m making a mistake or something?โ€ He smiled and said โ€œWell, I suppose I can just add my number when I get one.โ€

In stark contrast, after Jai had walked away, Chocco, being the smartarze that he is, said โ€œIs that in permanent marker?โ€ I said yes. He said, โ€œThen youโ€™re screwed.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜… Goody said โ€œDonโ€™t listen to him, youโ€™re not screwed.โ€ Turns out Goody was right!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAI โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™ย 

ย 

Feel bad forย AMWย ย and he was looking good, after a good end to last year.

No for Jai to take his chances. ย As for the AFL a sensible decision, but like others if a Carlton player was not injured, would they have made the same decision. ย I think it was helped that the SSP closedown on Friday. I read the AFL clubs bought it forward as a request, but maybe there will be an exception for major injuries during the preseason matches to top up. ย Would have been helpful for when Gus retired.ย

And what a great 22nd Birthday it is for Jai and his family I would imagine. Did the boys train today Ghostwriter or are they still recovering from Saturdayโ€™s heat?ย 
pS( that was great that you caught up with Ricky Menthaโ€™s family including his Nan at Arden St, sound like a really lovely close family.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜


I think we should develop him as a specialist tagger and then he can have a list of players who have been Culled.ย

As others have said, were a CFC player not in the same predicament, would the AFL have made this concession? ย  I may be a cynic, but I doubt it.

WELCOME

No he wasnโ€™t.

He wouldโ€™ve rotated between the forward line and midfield, helping give our starting mids some respite. If that ainโ€™t depth, I donโ€™t know what is.

Funnily enough today is Jai Culley's Birthday on the 24th of February. ๐ŸŽ‚

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! ๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ”ต

What a range of emotions he must have gone through over the past week, firstly being overlooked when we selected Henderson to fill in for McAdam, then to get this oppertunity on his birthday.


What a whirlwind journey it has been for him especially over the past week.

I think this is a great replacement because it adds depth to our midfield tocks which i thought was a glaring need last year.

It's a good question Mono, I'm doubtful too, if it was just AMW it would not have been changed.

Perhaps it was the sheer impact of 2 ACLs, in 1 day, a day after the deadline, and discretion was used given how close it was to the deadline and that the matches were just match-sims.

It was a good call by the AFL to allow the leniency given the circumstances, bit of fortune given we weren't so fortunate when Gus was medically retired to get an immediate replacement.ย

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.

The victim complex on this site is so tiresome.

Are you new here? ย MFCSS should be added to the catalogue of psychiatric diagnoses, as it is very real. ย And I know for sure that all the people and voices that call me paranoid are very real ๐Ÿคฏ

They didnโ€™t train today. Theyโ€™ll be at Goschโ€™s tomorrow for a recovery run at 1:30pm but thatโ€™s NOT confirmed so if anyoneโ€™s thinking of attending, best they ring the club beforehand ย 

I can understand how theyโ€™d need a couple of days to get over Saturdayโ€™s heat. Iโ€™m only a spectator and Iโ€™m just starting to feel normal now, I donโ€™t know how they coped running around in direct (and biting) sunshine. ๐Ÿฅต

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

No forward or half back not mid field . Some doubt his tank I think thatโ€™s not a real issue as we can generally control that if any effects are apparent in last quarters depending upon the situation. Thats AMW in any case so unfortunately itโ€™s problematical any way.ย

Looks like you misread he said birthday was on the 24th not that it was his 24th birthdayย

Well thatโ€™s AFL 1, Sesto 0.

Nevertheless, welcome to Jai. With each brilliant season may you add another twist of the knife to the hearts of eagles.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, itโ€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itโ€™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 psychologistย  Itโ€™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 letโ€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedย 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).ย

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Caseyโ€™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 ruckmanโ€™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 Demonsโ€™ 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.

    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?
