Can see Jai adding a lot and taking the pressure off Clarry, Trac and Vines winning the hard ball in the middle

    Jai will most likely play at Casey. We all hope that won’t be the case but the odds point there. Feels like he’s fighting for Sparrows spot which is also uncertain.

    No I don’t think he is fighting for Spaz’s spot Roost it far, Tommy is smaller and faster and is now battle hardened and I am expecting him to get a bigger role going forward. Jai is a much bigger unit at 194cm inside mid forward, he is basically the same height as Rooey, Disco, Jefferson and Luker Kentfield, plus he is well developed after being on an AFL list for a number of years. If he can recapture his earlier form he and Langford could really boost our midfield group.

    I think it will come down to how Jai continues to perform in the Casey midfield, but if he regains his former touch he provides coverage for our three big mids in Tracc, Clayton and Riv plus Langford. Virtually an Ace in the hole.!!

    Unlike some who appear to have clairvoyant powers or believe in  JC’s second coming. I shall await ‘proof in the pudding’. Like for like? Luke Dunstan. Fills a need if injuries (God forbid) occur amongst the mid-field first chosen.

    He does feel like a younger version of Dunstan.

    Maybe it's just too hypothetical but I was against the Dunstan pick up but after a year of Demons conditioning and game plan work he seemed ready to come in and give us a little bit of something right before he did his knee. Maybe nothing more than just a few games worth of throwing his body around and a fresh midfield look, but that could've been useful. We'll  never no I guess.

    Culley's younger and with a genuine point of difference with his height. He's worth a roll of the dice even if he's just depth.

    Yes his height, strong physique and relative youth are positives. From his MFC video clip he intimated he has strengths he brings to the table. But also welcomed the opportunity to work on other aspects of his game.
     

    Luke Dunstan had no problem getting the ball, his delivery finesse and polish were probably at an optimum given his age. No further improvement was likely to happen. JC now has time and opportunity to improve his skills, fitness etc. Good luck Jai!

    I definitely agree that Culley is worth the pick. He’s big, strong, keen and a left footer.

    There’s always injuries, players unavailable for various reasons and players who lose form….Culley may not start in rd 1 but there’s a good chance we will need him at some point in the season

    Every year the sucessful teams try something different and when done effectively the other teams follow.

    Our backline is pretty tall  with Lever, May, Petty and T Mac.

    We will likely add Langford to the midfield. If Jai plays alongside Langford and Oliver in our midfield we are pretty stacked there as well.

    Could be a competetive andvantage.

    It has to upset the the opposition if your opponent is bigger than you all the time.

    Always extra special when a player ends up at the club they grew up supporting!

    Now can he do a Harmesy and win a flag for the club he grew up supporting?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
