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?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
