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.

    He is taller than Clarry who is 6ft 2 in the old measurement!😍

    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?

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
