    Maybe Layzie but not in my head, I’m looking for improvements, something to look forward to, I won’t sign off until the B& F and National Draft is completed. Then I will take a long break until the pre-season.

    You're a great inspiration for us all DeeZone. Could definitely learn a thing or two from you 🙂

    Maybe Jai has a large extended family and a lot of friends that will help fill some of the many empty seats tomorrow.

    Oftentimes DeeZone is the only reason I bother with this site. I dearly wish there were more DeeZone-ish folks on here.

    I’m doing my level best to this end. My brother and his two sons* are sitting in the cheer squad tomorrow and I’ve told them they may not necessarily be near me since we’ll likely have to spread people out. A sparse cheer squad bay is not a good look.

    I had no idea Jai was 194cms! Taller than Aidan Johnson and TMac!

    Has a real presence and has some fantastic attributes. Could float forward and clunky a mark.

    Tmac is 195 ..

    Culley is a handy size. A few more games won't hurt him.. or us.

    Good debut in red and blue.

    Great to see him given a chance

    Liked his marking.

    Needs work on kicking but he has good attributes

    Biggest knock is his pace. He was caught a few times with Eagles getting away from him on the run.

    You are joking right? Go watch his two entry kicks inside 50 to the proper ‘hotspot’ that resulted in goals. A welcome point of difference from the bomb kick

    Culley had some presence out on field today. He was in defence, the middle and forward. Not bad for a man who was not on an AFL list until very late and playing in a much poorer league leading up to today

    Very impressive start for us. Plays taller than he looks and as mentioned above his smarts in kicking to the hot spot was an example many of his colleagues should follow.

    Assume kicking to the hot spot is just a long bomb that actually gets marked

    No, it’s kicking to players leading to 20m out, showing composure, and not bomb kicking it to the goal line where it’s easily defended and a point is conceded. Football 101. Something that a couple of higher paid mids have been doing for three years.

    Not quite Adonski it is an accurate kick that comes in a lot faster and prevents extra backs intercepting, IE a lot of our long bombs are like pie floaters coming in and easy to kill.

    Also, he pulled his kicks on 45 degree angles, late, which is an art form that only few of our players master..’Melksham and Chin being a couple notable others. It’s clever and hard to defend. Lift the veil of negativity

    pleasantly surprised, but he sits within the plodder with below average foot skills category for me. so him langdon viney clarry langford sparrow may work against west coast but against most sides that wont cut it.

    delivery inside 50 is still a continual unsticking point for the red and blue, having said that Jai did about as much as he could today given the opposition, real test is the next 3 weeks, sink or swim

    Really happy for him. It could only have been better if it was at the 'G.

    You don't play the Eagles every week, but there was definitely some good signs (and size) about him.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
