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.

    • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

      Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.
