He’s in a really good place currently. His adoring sister (who was with him) is his biggest fan and as he said, his rock.

This is amazing news. Thanks GW

    This just happened…

    I was walking out of the Newmarket plaza having just made this week’s banner and a tall guy wearing a Melbourne cap walked past and said “Go Dees!” It was Majak. He took his cap off and put it on my head and told me to keep it. He said “Look, it’s got my number 28 on the back. I really want you to have it because you clearly love the Demons as much as I do.”

    He’s in a really good place currently. His adoring sister (who was with him) is his biggest fan and as he said, his rock.

    This is going straight to the poolroom. Well it would if I had a poolroom. The display cabinet in my lounge room will have to do.

    Do you reckon he loves us more than North?

    How very cool. Glad he's in a good place and he still loves the club.

    100%

    He was wearing the Melbourne cap (which is now mine coz Maj and his sister Jakky don’t take no for an answer), and he spoke fondly about his time with us despite not having played a seniors game. He said he’s a Demons supporter and always will be and that the club “took great care” of him. He didn’t mention North at all. He was genuinely delighted to have run into such a nuffie Dees fan, true story 😃 and was moved by my initial reaction upon realising who he was, which was tears welling, of course 🙄 When we parted Jakky ran back to tell me how special the meeting was and that it made Maj happy therefore she was happy.

    Edit: was originally gonna enshrine the cap but why let it sit and collect dust? It’s a little old and worse for wear but I wear it proudly coz Majak ❤️💙

    ...and how did I miss this first time round?

    A great footy-world counterpoint to the other stuff swirling around.

    Did anyone look at this thread and think for a second that we’re potentially looking at him as a support option for Max?

    Yes.

    Great to hear that he still lives our club.

    Just out of interest, does he attend our games? And do we have many Somalians in our supporter base?

    Not sure if he attends games but he keeps abreast of how we’re travelling. He says next year will be better because the changes that needed to be made were made. He spoke very highly of Goody.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
