Thought he played his best footy down back imo.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
