2025 Player Reviews: #46 Jai Culley

The tall former Eagle was added to Melbourne's list at the final moment after Andy Moniz-Wakefield suffered his season-ending ACL injury. Following a solid season at VFL level, he earned a senior debut late in the year in the midfield against his old side. His form was impressive, and he will remain with the Demons, with the prospect of lots more football at the elite level.

    His game against Frankston showed that he's got weapons to be a pretty handy tall forward.

    Culley has a bit to work on regarding his defensive workrate and positioning, but nothing that can't be fixed with a full pre season with the team.

    He clearly has some traits that are very exciting and which give him an excellent chance of becoming a long term AFL player, particularly his size and marking.

    Jai clearly has talent and shows strength and versatility and marks well above his height.

    I am looking forward to him as a midfielder, wing or HF.

    Work hard Jai - you can play a huge role in us getting where we want.

    A real positive to end the season with. I can see him being a Blake Acres type wingman but perhaps more damaging forward. Aerially very strong and nice kick.

    One of the positives gleaned from 2025.

    Can play, with raw talent that will only benefit from a solid preseason.

    Best of all, he looks like he really wants to be out there, and if we have a team full of that sort of enthusiasm, we will improve very quickly.

    He’s been a passionate Demon all his life. I’m not saying that makes him a better player but geez it doesn’t hurt. He doesn’t have to cultivate a red and blue heart, he’s always had one ❤️💙

    Excellent signs in the handful of games he played, think he's got a bright future.

    Just a wild idea, why could Jai be a key forward for us, loves a big grab as we have already seen.

    Bigger than almost all our other supposed key forwards.

    Just as a reference, Logan Morris for Brisbane is 191cm, Jai is 194cm.

    JVR, Jai, Fritter, Jefferson/Kentfield, Kozzie, Chandler, Trac or another small and thats a forward line you could get some goals out of.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
