Don't mind this at all.

 

 

Agreed, good cover and also seemed to be loving life as a Dee.

Majak Dawn... Sounds like me on Sunday morning!

Absolutely fine with this.

Remember as well that he didn’t really have a preseason this year.

While I don’t see him playing the full 22 games next year, I’d like to see him get some games in the ones.


Good insurance policy, and our list turnover is already pretty much sorted with 2 retirements, 4 delistings and 1 “we recommend looking elsewhere”. You’d have to think we’re unlikely to get as lucky with injuries to talls as we did this year, where other than Tommo, we hardly had one. Happy with this.

Was playing well when the VFL season was underway, and can cover ruck, key forward, or key back. Sensible decision.

 

Good 3rd string back up for one more year. Can now draft a young 4th option with no pressure on them to play.

Did he ever get suspended for belting Cox?

 

Him playing means that Gawn is injured but good on him that he is happy with that role.

Considering the struggles he's had to endure in the past, I must say the highlight of the celebrations was seeing Majak with the biggest smile being so happy for the boys.

 

Hope to see him getting a game next season. Good luck to him.


Wasnt a big fan of picking him up as I couldnt see him ever playing a senior game, but he's fitted in well and seems to be a well liked figure around the club so Ive changed my mind, no harm giving him another season as a backup.

anyone heard any news re this?

Looking forward to seeing him play a few senior games for the Demons next year in 2022.

Due to his versatility he can still impact games as a ruckman, defender or a forward. Majak Daw is the ideal utility player.

Ideally, thanks to him signing, he could also co-opt P.M. Dawn to play a few pre match gigs for us once COVID restrictions are lifted. 😉

The new Pedersen!

Yes.. he got one week.

It was in a scratch match so perhaps it can be served in another scratch match if it hasn't already been done.

Perhaps the AFL could use its discretion after the VFL season from hell.

PS the article talks about a Round 23 scratch match that he was going to be excluded from so perhaps he has served the suspension

Majak, with a full pre-season under the belt, with some confidence-boosting training displays and focus, could well contribute much to our line-up. He is - imo - well worth a go and may well shine in our improved culture and team spirit.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
