Happy with this. We need a second mature ruck. We need key defensive depth. And with the injuries we might need forward depth. Majak can do all 3 at once.

The only problem is they don’t have a lot of time to assess his body unless they’ve had this on the cards for a while. There’s a chance his body just isn’t what it was after his severe injuries so they need to thoroughly investigate that if he’s to get a list spot.

    We certainly need big man depth. Daw is an all rounder, can ruck, can play down back, can play fwd. I think its an ok play.

    Don't mind this at all.

    At least we know fitness would never be an issue... ?

    I know it was years ago but an AFL player that once kicked 6.4.40 and received the 3 Brownlow votes in a game of footy warrants consideration.

    There was also a game in 2018 at the MCG against us when he was marking every thing that was coming his way in defence.

    I’d have a look at him provided he doesn’t spend the entire season in the medical room.

    He would have plenty of company BBP.

    Anyone know who he’s been training with up til now?  Hopefully he’s already got a decent preseason under his belt.

    good luck Majak...

    not as much upside perhaps as HB but I'm always happy to have a feel good experiment.

    Hopefully it works out all round

    Gets a chance to show he is worth a spot at little cost to the Dees.  A good SPP choice.

    I believe he signed at North Heidelberg under Brent Harvey and has been doing a pre season there.

    Well, that was quick. The Herald Sun is running a story by Rebecca Williams dated today headed “Local Footy: Ex-AFL stars set to play local footy in 2021”

    “WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

    MAJAK DAW

    The former Kangaroo has found a new football home in the northern suburbs where he will play alongside a North Melbourne great. Daw has signed with division one Northern Football League side North Heidelberg for the next two seasons. The 29-year-old will link up with former teammate and AFL games record holder Brent Harvey and will also play alongside his brother, Anthony. Daw was delisted at the end of last season after 54 games for the Kangaroos. He made an inspirational return to the game in Round 9 last year after recovering from a fall from the Bolte Bridge. “We view the arrival of Majak as a big plus for the club as we look to consolidate in Division 1 of the NFNL after our third position finish in season 2019,” the club said.”

    At least Majak will feel at home with the Demons at Casey Fields. If I remember correctly, he might have played a game with some of them in a composite team for players who didn’t make their AFL teams last year while in the Sunshine Coast hub.

    Remember watching this game and thinking what a fantastic forward performance.

    Versatile mature depth player who could ruck if Max gets an injury - I like it.

    With B.Brown and Weid out, Jackson and TMac have become 1st choice KPFs and have weakened ruck depth.  Daw addresses this.

    I seem to remember the same thing, WJ.  In fact, think that pic of him in the MFC article in a Dees Jumper is from that match.

    Also wonder if Ben Brown had any influence in having the Dees consider him?

    With Hore on the LT injury list we have 3 rookie list spots available.  Room for Majak, Farmer and our NGA player (whose name I have sadly forgotten).

    Offers ruck, defensive and forward cover. If there’s a better option out there I can’t think of it.

    Bizarre move. 

     

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

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
