I hope you all feel sorry for me.

It is my birthday, sort of, at the end of the week, but only for a second at midnight on Friday the 28th, ending before Saturday the 1st of March.

A Feb 29th baby! It’s not all bad. You only get to celebrate properly once every four years, but that’s  justification for a HUGE celebration when it does come around. 🥳

Recruited No.1 in 2022 mid season Draft, won a Rising Star Nomination in R6 2023 then ruptured his ACL in Round 8. Eagles delisted him at the end of 2024, played 12 games and kicked 7 goals for them. He may have taken a bit longer to get over his injury?

Some Eagles fans say he was slow but this was after his ACL. Hasn’t stopped him being a ball magnet in the match sims at training. Very strong body also.

Usually Cull. 

I’m thinking Cull or Culls as well. Or JC.
I’ll make a point of finding out tonight at the Season Launch. I’m also currently spreading the Bison word for Harvey, so there’s no sitting around getting drunk for this little ghost, I’ll leave that to the rest of the Demon Army 🥴🤪😵‍💫

I am sure you can have at least a sneaky drink or two!

A toast to the Bison! 😁 🍻 🍺

Alas one sneaky drink for me is the equivalent of 10 sneaky drinks for anyone else. Me and alcohol aren’t besties. But the food is where I get my money’s worth. Last year I ate my own courses as well as Salo’s and his brother’s desserts 😃 Waste not want not. 👍🏽

JAHEEEEESUS H CULLEY!!😆

 

Hmm, been digging around for video.

Seems to be pretty good at knowing where to be. Can kick the ball a loooong way with reasonable accuracy.

The obvious limitation which gets mentioned anywhere is a lack of top speed, but he isn't too bad at those first few steps and he knows his limitation and the need to act fast.

I'm perfectly happy for West Coast to have made yet another blunder here.

 

Speaking of which...

Are West Coast screwed? I don't mean, 'have a difficult rebuild', but just compeltely knotted?

Their top 4 disposal winner in 2024 were Kelly, Yeo, Duggan and McGovern, and then it's Harley Reid, Witherden (who they delisted) and our old boy Hunt.

Similar story for other mid stats like tackles, clearances, metres gained - either old, Reid, or delisted.

Their goalkickers were Darling (ret), Cripps (32), Waterman (26) and injury-prone Allen (25, Restricted Free Agent)

Intercepts? 1%ers? McGovern and Tom Cole left.

I don't see the natural improvement and can't see how the three 27-year-old smalls - Graham, Baker and the seagull Owies - will change their situation a whole lot. It might suit McQualter's style and maybe on occasion they'll get momentum in a game and earn a 'plucky' win against the odds, but it won't turn things around sustainably.

 

It appears fate has handed Jai a new football life.

I'll go with completely knotted.

Also, inconsequential technicality, but Darling was traded to Norf  😉

One plus this year is that not playing Round Zero means the first VFL match is a little better aligned with our AFL season.

Our first match is Sunday morning 23 March against North at Casey before our second round AFL match against North at Docklands at 3:20pm.

[Not bad scheduling for once]

I don’t think so, Baker and Graham will thicken up their midfield mix, forward line is good if Allen is reasonably healthy (yes he’s had issues but there’s hope he over them) and they’ve got enough down back even if they’ll miss Barrass. I think 5-8 wins this year. Whether they keep momentum in to 2026 and can hold on to Allen and Reid is another question, because that would potentially ruin their rebuild.

by rights, redleg should be still at school 😮

Here's some highlights videos of Jai "Culls" Culley for those interested.

My apologies if any of the highlights are repetitive.

Fingers crossed that the Melbourne Demons media department do an interview with Jai Culley sometime soon. 🤞🏻

You sound like Fredric from Pirates of Penzance ....... if your old enough.

LOL

In that video against the Saints. Did he do his ACL and then go back and kick the goal?

He looked handy and a great size with a nice left foot.

Excellent work by the Demons media department! ❤️💙

They are doing a fantastic job! 😎👍🏻

Even more amazing to hear that Jai Culley grew up being a Melbourne supporter and his whole family a Melbourne supporters too! It makes it even more special!

I wish Jai Culley all the best and look forward to seeing him run out onto the MCG for the...MIGHTY DEMONS! 👹🔴🔵

Nah, he did his ACL the following season (2023) vs Richmond.

Interesting fact - whilst he only has 12 games under his belt, he has never played in a win.

We’ll change that

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
