The former Kangaroo was set to play suburban football this year until he was recruited in March’s supplemental player draft to fill a ruck need. He was close to a call up after working hard with the Casey Demons.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
