I for one wish the guy well. If he gets a guernsey would he be the first first generation African to play for us ? I think Heritier Lumumba is second generation through his Congolese father.

Demons hand AFL lifeline to Daw

Door open for discarded Roo after receiving invitation to train with Demons

I’m not sure what to make of this. My recollection of Daw’s form on comeback was that he struggled. This is virtually a second lifeline and he has also had personal issues in his life of late. Things won’t be easy for him given the physical and mental barriers he has to overcome. It’s almost a flashback to last year and Harley Bennell but at least the club is thinking outside the square.

Majak can certainly ruck and can play on both ends of the ground as well and is  proven.  A  great backup for  Max Gawn  if needed An insurance if Maxy has an injury, Hope he makes the list he would be a great asset.

Sorry soupy but he cant do that if he could nth would have kept him

I’m not sure the club will do much better than Majak as a backup option - for all the posters here saying no, who should we go for instead?

I wish him all the best with his second chance, hope he grabs it by the ears.

“But for now, he will link up with the Demons on Monday, as he hopes to win a spot on their playing list.

“As part of the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period we have offered Majak Daw an opportunity to train with us for the remainder of pre-season,” List manager Tim Lamb told the club’s website.”

Does that mean that the team is able to train on Monday despite the lockdown?

If tennis is an “essential service” in Victoria then so is footy.

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

Don,t get carried away he would not be a best 22 fd he is an insurance for the big fella. He can play it is my opinion and would be a good back up and is a big strong boy.  I am sure that others would agree.

If Clint Biscuit can overcome issues of delistment from Geelong and survive then Majak May be motivated to overcome his.

Different bloke differnent situation

With Hore, Weed and Brown done a one year deal would be worth while. If one of our other talls gets injured we would be knackered. So Majak is worthwhile insurance.

I think T Mc can turn his form around this year but not a sure thing. Jackson looks the goods but is still very young.

How many spots do we have? Farmer to fill one.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
