    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"

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
