2025 Player Reviews: #46 Jai Culley

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
