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.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
