Before I get bombarded with 'He's never getting a game! Stop talking rubbish!', I'd like to see him play a few games in the seniors. 

I get that he's not going to be an A grader or a regular selection. One part of it is sentimental and the other part pragmatic.

His story is an amazing one, and I'd love to see him overcome what has happened since the incident at the Bolte Bridge a few years ago.

Plus, having blokes like he and Mitch Brown getting an occasional game keeps them fresh in case long term injuries come up. Pedersen was great in that sense as well. He wasn't always first 22, but his presence there kept a mature head in the team, and a warning that someone hungry was always lurking in the wings.

Thanks for signing on Majak it is comforting to have a player of your calibre at the club and I also hope that you get the chance to represent us at the highest level. !!

You don't need to be a poet to get "Poetic Justice" Agree wholeheartedly, and he provides a really great team orientation and brevity to the playing group, where I have been told he is a very popular member. I expect him and Mitch Brown to play some games next year!

Just read Majak's autobiography. He's been through a lot. Not wishing any injuries to our key rucks but if Majak gets any game time for Melbourne this year it's well-deserved.
