Majak Daw

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,415]

Has one of the worst tanks in the AFL. Good for half a quarter and then goes missing.

Thankfully our club aren't stupid enough to even consider it.

Thats an old line of thought, his ability to run out games has improved.

Thankfully our club would be across the basics....strengths and weaknesses of each player.

Serhat Temel, anyone?

I believe the name you are looking is Aliir Aliir.

No, it hasn't. He runs out of gas quicker than any car you could drive. His tank is horrible.

We will agree to disagree then.

Id rookie Daw at best...and If I remember rightly I was one of his earliest advocates

[Little Goffy 14,661]

Nah, not in any big way, just a kinda nah.

I'm just not inspired and feel like he has reached his level.

**delete this post if he builds spectacularly in 2016, of course.

No footy IQ...we need footballers.

The biggest hole i believe we have is a ruckman/forward that can really choo out Gawn and watching Daw as the sole ruckman he is actually playing very well and with him being our of contract i would give him a 2 year offer.

Takes a good contested mark and can use his leap to advantage. Right now he'd be very handy for us because now id start Gawn up Forward and Maj in the ruck. Both have serious potential to push forward and kick your 2-3 goals when resting down there.

Didn't realize how much of a bigger hole we have having no back up for Gawn. Seen things from Daw to suggest he could give that chop out for Gawn.

Its a yes from me. 

Some posters will continue to pick apart his game whilst pushing the case of some of our players who have been gifted games for years but currently find themselves in and out of the team for different reasons.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

He's had a few touches against a pretty poor Richmond opposition, while at this stage Hampson has smashed him in the ruck.

Still don't see it, sorry.

[MadAsHell 4,215]

Would only entertain it for a Jeff Garlett type trade.

North don't deal that way though.

[hemingway 7,633]

As Bruce said he has the body of an Olympic athlete. Bruce I think you have it right but for the wrong reasons!

He has guns that would make Bruce squeal like a pig....

Could have got him for our last pick or a rookie.

 

horse has bolted

[Deeoldfart 8,067]

Any other clubs chasing Majak would (most likely) want him as their #1 ruckman, and outbid us in any discussions with North. Further, if Majak wants to leave North, it will be for more opportunity and / or a fair bit more coin, and I doubt that we would want to commit to either for a player of his standing.  While he might be a handy addition to our list, he's certainly not worth getting in a bidding war over.

He'd probably be starting ruck at Essendon, Gold Coast, Richmond and maybe Footscray, Hawthorn and Collingwood.

 

Hampson was neither more nor less effective than him.

True, but then that doesn't look that good for Daw either as Hampson isn't anything special.  Hampson had 51 hitouts to Majak's 19, which doesn't look all that flash to me.

No no no 

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,415]

Daw has played 20 games. He's shown more than enough in 20 games to warrant the club to ask the question of North at years end. He can take a contested mark, has reasonable disposal, he tackles hard, his ruck work is improving and he can cover the ground. Imagine if he got some continuity, actually don't imagine that, things like that are only to be taken into consideration when discussing Melbourne players, how are Grimes/Garland and Dawes going....

Seeing him live today, I'd love him as a second ruck for depth. Have a soft spot for him. He's a bit raw but so was NicNat for his first 50 games. Very similar imo.

Low football IQ and doesn't have the finishig skills. Pass.
