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..

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

22 going by wikiย 

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: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fieryย interaction between Max Gawn and Steven Mayย at the end of the gameย was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneโ€™s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on Kingโ€™s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
