    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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
