Majak Daw



Recommended Posts

Pedersen will be the man.

I don't get the reference to Lynch? He doesn't ruck, would have played a different role to what Daw would.

I'd rather us go for Daniel Gorringe for more ruck depth if that's why you want Daw. Can ruck, rest forward, unfulfilled talent and would also come cheap. But I'll back Viney & co in on their decision.

I like Pedo aswell. We can only assume he's a year to year proposition going off the one year extension.

It wasn't meant to be a comparison as such, just the realisation (the club and all of us on here are already aware) that we need another option up forward-fwd/ruck. We are struggling to attract our first option so at times we are settling for second best.

If we're only playing Dawes for big body/provide contest/bring ball to ground etc we might as well okay someone who can clunk the occasional mark.

I don't know enough about Gorringe to comment. But like you will trust the coaching panels decision. Going off last year and all the rumours circulating this year everyone will be getting looked at so that's a good thing.

I think what we really need is a solid consistent performer(s) which he isn't.

Even Gawn's form wouldn't of got him a game ahead of Goldy this year.

30 goals from 17 matches in the VFL. A couple of bags and yes a couple of quiet games.

If you can be bothered there's some great clips on u-tube of him. His marking is a feature and can launch the footy when he gets on to it.

That, and hooking up with a team mates (Daniel Pratt) girlfriend.

I don't want to see us waiting out both Melksham's WADA suspension & Daw's jail time.

well you probably wouldn't have to, because he would be a rookie IMO.

as far as girlfriends are concerned, welcome to competative people who are also in elite money ranks, so you also end up with competitive girls, with many gold diggers. so playing around in footy clubs is way more common than you may think, AAC.

daw, you naughty naughty boy....

Watts - it takes years to grow into your body

Toumpas - he needs continuity

Fitzy - surprised he got delisted, he can play multiple roles

Dawes - big body, a foil for Hogan, provides a contest, brings the ball the ground

Sound familiar.

No I'm not comparing Daw to those players but those throw away lines all apply to him. From what I've read and watched on utube he's had some quiet games in the VFL and he's torn some apart. His most recent opportunity at the top he was more than capable. He's a better pack mark than most of our list. We could do worse than him as no.42 on the list, and we are.

The Sudanese were the best gladiators in the Roman days,as an aside.

North have put years into him,would be nice to just pluck him away and turn him into a player but I question his skills (from the few games I have seen him play for Werribee).

I think Daw falls into that "good idea but not quite"

Maybe the Mac effect would help. Who knows.

Don't care how the bloke can play, big no, same reason as Milne.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training.

Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
