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.

No thanks 

I don’t think Casey has played for over a month so don’t think he has any form we can draw conclusions from.

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.

This

We're on top of the ladder.

We're not here to experiment with our side.

When he’s killing it in the VFL and knocking down the daw. 

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

Welcome back

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

Welcome back mate!

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.

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.
