Great another injury plagued Nth player on our list 

who's the other one?

if you mean bbb, he has only missed games due to injury in 2020 (played 9/17 games).  played 22 games in each of the previous 5 years after debuting in his initial season in round 14 playing all remaining games including finals.

hardly "injury plagued"

Not a bad retort.

read the injury report done knee just training.Also you cant compare them as players

 

Poor fwd, average ruck and decent Backman. 
doesnt make a lot of sense to me. We have some average fwd back up options, we don’t need more

If we were after a ruck back up I’d have preferred we picked a youngish ruckman from the vfl or other lower levels that might develop

Surprised that the Pies didn't snap him up.

 

Now that is the post of day ha ha ha

Why is it Bizarre? We have just had 2 big forwards go down as well as Marty Hore for the season

 He is a liability on the field,  thats why.

I admire him for getting back to playing sport after what he went through but there is a reason he was playing for North Heidelberg up until today.

Would be handy if he could recapture some of this form.

 

This pre season is going from bad to worse. If MD plays due to injuries we are absolutely shot. Great he has overcome obstacles but another injury prone player from a bottom club. Complete waste of time

Smacks of desperation. 

But with your two key forwards out of action, and a dodgy old TMac as a a fill-in, a bunch of small to medium sized players with nothing to crumb, the Daw experiment is understandable but bound to fail. 

What would I do?  Dunno but the footy season like Covid, maybe another year of endurance, patience and stoicism. Joy maybe something to hope for in another winter of discontent.

interesting post earlier Re oscar and correct why dump oscar who has no baggage to bring and employ a bloke whohas truck loads of baggage

God no rather Daw. 

If his mind and body are good to go then getting a life line when he was prepared to play local footy could just be the kick in the pants and HUGE motivator for him to play good footy again. 
 

You just never know  it’s worth the risk imo.

Majak Daw has done more in his career than Oscar. A big Yes from me! Just a feeling

Strength, speed, leap, to name a few. Probably the same amount of footy IQ. 


1 hour ago, forever demons said:

no no and no we dont need another injury prone player may as well bring back HB for another chance

I’ve had a big weekend....who’s HB?

Thanks.

If Majak can prove his fitness both mentally and physically - it's a yes from me. There are 42 odd blokes on a list - he won't be the worst on the list and might just prove a good back up option when needed.

 

If nothing else the blow up from the negative nancies on here would well worth the price of admission ???

Desperation my ar.e, they have 2 list spots available, 2 forwards have gone down, they are being proactive.

Thanks.

a project player who left us during the hub lockdown in queensland

I don’t understand the hostility to this idea.

He gets a 12-month contract on small money and provides cover only.  Seems a pretty low risk straight forward back up option to me.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #42 Aidan Johnson

    The VFL premiership player was recruited from Werribee to alleviate Melbourne’s forward line woes and give a chop out in the ruck, but he managed only five senior matches in his first season at the club. At times, he was a dominant force at VFL level.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #44 Luker Kentfield

    An exciting young key forward, Kentfield was selected in the 2024 mid-season draft but has yet to make his AFL debut. He was sidelined by a severe bout of pneumonia over the summer, which consequently limited his pre-season. Upon his return a month into the season, he commenced in defence but ultimately impressed with his progress at Casey, particularly in the latter part of the season as a strong marking goal kicking forward.

  • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

    Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.
