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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
