Welcome to Demonland: Jai Culley

Culley looks good but he needs to stop providing soft drop crumbs in the backline. He did that twice on the weekend and it cost two goals.

That said, he looks like an AFL player.

    Could imagine Culley and Langford swapping over from deep forward to wing

    No idea if Culley will be a long term best 22 guy but crazy how the Eagles delisted a midfielder with his height and aerial game

    Speed of thought and delivery is better than pure speed.

    Greg Williams says “hi”.

    And he looked pretty quick to me at the G on Sunday.

    The Manor's resident Michelin Man would never serve up such "horrible nourriture " when local delicacies such as Alpaca Bourguignon and Kookaburra under glass are available!

    Tsk tsk. Kookaburras are a protected species and it is against the law to kill them or, your deity of choice forbid, eat them.

    However, I have to confess that I did try some roasted kookaburra at a dinner party one night.

    It has a most unusual taste, somewhere between platypus and orange-bellied parrot.

    He had a year out from the ACL, obviously hadn't regained his pace easiest delist for any list manager.

    Don't know anyone who doesn't take a season to regain speed, spring and form until a year or so after ther return from the year off. It takes time, something of a massive commodity in list terms - unless you are an absolute gun time isn't on your side. Hes not the first to be strung out after an injury, and definitely won't be the last. Fortunately he was able to have some redevelopment time and then get onto our list. You never know what a full preseason will do for him - we might have something here

    I would NEVER eat a kookaburra, especially the beak. Unless, the beak was done to a crisp and perhaps with a dash of lemon and pepper.

    I did a rewind on that, he was actually tunnelled by Petty as a Collingwood player had shoved Petty fair in the back in the marking contest.

    The hands in the back legalisation is making this practice incredibly dangerous and has the potential to see someone end up with a broken neck.

    Collingwood player that caused it. So nothing to see here

    Nothing to see and crickets out of the commentators.... how surprising.

    The coach mentioned that he was sent to hospital to be checked out but haven’t heard the results.

    And Chaplin mentioned "whiplash", so I guess they will have checked out his neck/spine. I was watching him closely after it happened - as he stayed down for a while. As he started to run - expecting to stay on - he grabbed at his lower back. and then headed off the ground. Over to the medical experts on here.....

    He is very hard to tackle, seems to shrug off anything that comes his way

    Jai certainly appears to play taller than his height.

    Could he become a deep marking forward like Frittata, and or a big mid?

    Appears to have footy smarts

    Culley has so much potential, he just needs to tidy up his defensive positioning and work rate. A full pre season with the group should help in this respect.

  • Quote

    I reckon he’s a high half forward. Quick, powerful, unreal in the air. If he rotates between there and the wing he has the potential to be a mason wood type headache for opposition given virtually all of his opponents are going to be a mismatch either in the air or on the ground.

      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.

      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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      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.
