Maybe, but Xon is in and he wasn't spectacular in his showing, albeit busier than Culley. With Yeo out it seems Xon has moved into that spot.
Simmo has thrown the torch on him a little though, which I don't mind.
It's so weird, all the boys were singing his praises and he tears up the pre season. Then he hardly gets played in the pre season matches with the main team and now sits our Round 1.
It's one of three things for me.
1) Injured.
2) Not doing what is asked of him on field and has to work on aspects of his game.
3) Has been offered a contract but has told the club he wants to go home so they have thought no need playing him and prioritizing others ahead of him now.
I really hope it's not option 2 and doubt it's option 1 or the club would have said something surely.

Culley situation feels Lewis Jetta-esque.
Impossible for him to go from being the MVP of the preseason to being dead to Simmo after one practice game.
Something must've been happened off-field.

ERrrrr, that would be "sharpest".

I mean good for XON if he’s earned his spot over the preseason and cemented with Yeo out. I’m so WTF on the Culley situation though, it’s very intriguing. The club had him as first on field for R1 a mere few weeks back

Culleygate for sure. Heaps of queries on Twitter asking where Culley is.
Melbourne really is a cesspool.
Gee thanks.
Was the certainty around Culley being picked based purely off time trial results?
Would’ve thought him being lower priority than Chesser and Ginbey for exposure wouldn’t have come as a massive shock.

Did anyone watch him in the reserves games v Port & the Crows? Maybe he was very average in those. Its one thing dominating at training then playing against players from another team.

They ran him for 6 consecutive periods in Praccy 1 and talked up large about it. Now he's in Burrows territory.
Odds on he's got some sort of lower leg to OP type issue that they are hoping no one will call them out on.

Suspect Culley could just be a mix of practice match form and midfield balance (especially speed). Also suspect the club might rather these young guys get practice running out a full game than warming a seat as an emergency or the sub in round 1.
He only played the first half of the first Port game then came back on for the second twos game.
Are we sure he's not already over there? Travelling with only 24 when 23 have to play now and there's no WAFL seems a bit dumb
Whenever there’s a random hot day it’s always windy as feck and then wintery the day after
No WAFL...except the practise match on Saturday.

Brushed past Noah like he didn't know him!
Fair enough, didn't know about the praccy match
Still only 1 emg feels unnecessarily short
