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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
