Majak Daw

Rod Grinter Riot Squad
in Melbourne Demons

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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Would only entertain it for a Jeff Garlett type trade.

    North don't deal that way though.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
