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.

      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.

      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?

      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?
