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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      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?
