Thank you for the update. It is greatly appreciated! 😎👍🏻

It's a shame Jake Melksham isn't ready yet. He would be handy in the forward line.

I am sure the Demons membership department would like a win. However, I am just hoping there are no injuries. Getting the team cherry ripe for the Round 1 game against the Giants needs to be the priority.

With Jai Culley being promoted to the Demons AFL list it will be interesting to see if Casey is able to invite another former AFL player to join the team. However, I am not sure when VFL lists need to be finalised by.

Here's a good interview that Jai Culley did a couple of years ago before he was taken in the 2022 mid-season draft. He mentioned in the interview he did with "Into the Fire" on YouTube that he was a Demons supporter/member. Jai also mentioned that he was doing work with a sprint coach to help his speed during football matches. I like the fact that he is a booming kick and can easily kick goals from outside 50 metres. Hope he gets a chance to play in the Demons AFL side sometime this season when he earns a spot.

I definitely think Xavier Lindsay could play on the half back flank for the Demons in the near future. However, I think he is still working on his fitness levels after his knee injury last year. I don't have too high of an expectation on him for just his first year. So I will just wait and see when he gets to earn a spot in the AFL side for the Demons. Nevertheless, it's great that we have another elite kick in the team. The more elite kicks and excellent decision makers we have at the Demons the better!

Very wholesome and cute! I absolutely love it when a kid who barracked for the Demons is lucky enough to play for the AFL Club he supported growing up. Fingers crossed Jai gets to run out on the MCG sometime this year representing the Melbourne Demons! 🔴🔵👹

25 years is an amazing achievement. Congratulations @Demonland! ❤️💙 Anyway, I have updated my email address, so I shall be ready for whenever the imminent changeover is scheduled to happen.

Hopefully Jack Henderson and Jai Culley get a good hit out in this practice match.

Wonderful to hear! ❤️💙

Some excellent leadership shown by MFC President Brad Green. I loved him as a Demons player. I love him even more as a President. ❤️💙

Hopefully Jai Culley is doing well? Very happy he is now officially a Demon. Being a Melbourne supporter growing up this must be a dream come true for him. Please let Harvey "The Bison" Langford know we all look forward to him earning a spot in the AFL side when Simon Goodwin thinks he is ready.

Some pretty good ones there. Here are my suggestions for possible nicknames for those players who don't seem to have them...yet? Andy Moniz-Wakefield - Monza, Mozza, Mozzy, Wakey, The Hyphen. Luke Kentfield - Kents, Kento, Kenta, The Pumpkin. Jed Adams - Addz, Addo, Gomez, Fester, Lurch (a few Addams Family references there).

True, we can only speculate. I would hope that due to MFC President Brad Green's commitment to transparency that he would tell us if a formal complaint about the NGA system has been in motion. However, perhaps the MFC is waiting for a response from the AFL first. Anyway, I guess I am still angry that the Demons missed out on Mac Andrew a couple of years ago.

I have never given a Demons player their own nickname before. We shall see if it catches on with his teammates I guess? I think "The Bison" suits Harvey Langford due to his strength and determination. He looks like the type of player who is ultra competitive and hates losing too. I am sure fans have suggested nicknames for Demons players before, but I do agree that it's usually teammates who choose them. I never had any choice in the nickname I was given when I played footy. 🤣 Obviously, commentators (such as Rex Hunt back in the 1990s and Brian Taylor in recent times) choose nicknames for players too, but whether or not they are taken up by teammates is another matter altogether. Nevertheless, I would be quite pleased if Brian Taylor or Bruce McAvaney started calling Harvey Langford "The Bison" but we shall have to wait for the AFL season to properly begin and Harvey also needs to earn his spot in the team.

It's all about the fabric and the culture of Australian Rules Football. Gotta have your nicknames! 😁 Even better when there's a bit of a background story behind them.

Excellent work by the Demons media department! ❤️💙 They are doing a fantastic job! 😎👍🏻 Even more amazing to hear that Jai Culley grew up being a Melbourne supporter and his whole family a Melbourne supporters too! It makes it even more special! I wish Jai Culley all the best and look forward to seeing him run out onto the MCG for the...MIGHTY DEMONS! 👹🔴🔵

Totally agree with your comments. It is disgracefully unfair! 😡 I am still hoping that our President Brad Green can put aside a mere 10 minutes or so to write a formal letter of complaint to the AFL about this matter. We should be lobbying the AFL to change this grossly unfair set of rules that denies us access to Tairon Ah-Mu.

Here's some highlights videos of Jai "Culls" Culley for those interested. My apologies if any of the highlights are repetitive. Fingers crossed that the Melbourne Demons media department do an interview with Jai Culley sometime soon. 🤞🏻

@Ghostwriter mentioned that Jai Culley's nickname is Culls. Will be interesting if any new nicknames are discovered or created for Melbourne players throughout season 2025.

Hope you and the rest of the Demon Army have a wonderful evening! ❤️💙

Wonderful to hear that Fred Fanning has been given this prestigious honour!

I am sure you can have at least a sneaky drink or two! A toast to the Bison! 😁 🍻 🍺

I saw this article on Zero Hangar about the SSP and why it shouldn't be extended. https://www.zerohanger.com/why-the-afl-shouldnt-be-extending-the-ssp-window-158873/ While I do have sympathy for the 2nd tier competitions, the only real way to deal with this issue is to increase AFL list sizes. Melbourne and Carlton would not have been in such dire need then. If each AFL team is given another 5 or 6 extra list spots to cushion the effects of any numerous injuries, then you don't have to worry about last minute recruiting as much. Furthermore, you can bring back reserves teams for the 2nd tier competitions as well. That way you don't have AFL clubs scrambling around trying to get last minute recruits from the VFL, SANFL, WAFL etc which then makes the clubs in those leagues suffer. As the old saying goes, you shouldn't be "robbing Peter to pay Paul". In the end, it is up to the AFL to show initiative and use it's huge profits to financially support the 2nd tier competitions and grassroots football. The more money that is invested in the lower levels of football the more that the AFL and AFL supporters will benefit in the long run. Stronger grassroots football and stronger 2nd tier competitions will in turn create a stronger AFL. Let's hope that the AFL focuses on rectifying this issue for the long term survival of Australian Rules Football.

Hopefully Marty Hore's broken hand isn't longer than 6 weeks or so to recuperate from.
