When do we get to see Majak?

Apparently Majak is playing well at Casey, so why hasn't he been given a call up?

Our forward line has not been settled yet and it's time for him to be selected.

We have tried the Weid and B Brown.  I think Daw has got something to offer.

Give him a chance and let's find out how, or if he can make a difference.

    He was playing full time ruck from the Casey games I watched. I think he is a break glass in case of emergency for if Max goes down or needs a rest.

    Majak was delisted by a bottom side.

    why would you  expect him to get a game in the top of the ladder side unless some major problem occurred.

    we should sell him to GWS or Suns next year.  He could get a regular game there perhaps,

    we need to beat essundun

    Averages 0.8 goals and 9 disposals per game, and at 30 his best is behind him.   Will probably never get to see him.

    Hopefully never. We got him as an insurance policy, not somebody that gets a game ahead of other forwards.

    If we see Daw it means some of our KP players are either injured or badly out of form. That being the case I hope we don't see him

    If Gawn and Jackson remain injury free for the rest of the year, I can't see Daw getting a game for us. We basically selected him as depth because of his height and his ability to kick the occasional goal up forward.

    In a prelim final to play an enforcer role and smack around anyone who tries to hurt our star players. 

     

    Gets us into a grand final, gets suspended for 10 games, goes out a hero!

    I don't mean this disrepectfully, but hopefully never.

    He is there for depth only and will play if Gawn or another back goes down....

    Majak is good insurance as he can play back, ruck or forward. 

    Petty has done ok since Tomlinson went down but he doesn't have the size of Tomlinson where Majak does. I have a suspicion he might have a role to play here at some stage.

    We're not here to experiment with our side.

    Weideman being the exception.

    Sam's copped his fair whack around here lately, but just because he's in terrible form doesn't make him an experimental player. We know exactly what he is capable of and how that fits into the team. Form is the issue, not Sam being an unknown quantity.

    This may be left of field, but could Majak be seen as a pack breaking, body tall forward who can play ruck in the forward fifty who isn't really expected to kick many goals? We've had a few decent ones on that front with The Bear, Dawesy, Brad Miller and the Ox (going back to the late 90's/early 00's. Majak definitely has the body for it (though not sure how he can hold up after his accident which I know affected his pelvis), and it suits him in a way as his leading patterns tend to be pretty much straight lines exclusively.

    That being said, perhaps that role doesn't fit into the current game plan. Just a thought.

    Hopefully never, and that isn’t meant as a slight on Majak, more to the point he is insurance.

    If he doesn’t play I hope it means we are healthy and firing in the ruck and forward structure

    Great ruck depth, hope we re-contract him next year.

    Shame we didn't have him in 2000. Imagine a [censored] and punch merchant like Dean Wallis shaping up to a unit like Majak.

    Agree to disagree.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
