  • Demonland changed the title to Manual Daw Retires

I would have loved for him to play just one game for MFC. His raw emotion when we won the G.F last year was a lovely thing to behold.

Good luck Warrior, you have done yourself proud with your achievements, I hope the next chapters of your life are fantastic. Cheers P.F

He was part of the GF 

Training with Max to keep him sharp

He did a good job

i wish him well


Shame we never got to see him out on the G as a full fledged demon but wish him all the best in his next chapter. 

Was hoping he would get a look in with Max out.

Showed some real promise and played some very good games while at North.

Great that the club gave him this chance and hope he isn't completely lost to the club & game.

Oh good, we’ll pick up a replacement in the midseason draft *checks notes* 3 weeks ago.

He clearly wasn’t injured and contemplating retirement. It’s more unfortunate that we didn’t get Tmac’s diagnosis a few days earlier as he could have gone on the long term injury list. 
 

Anyway wishing Majak all the very best in the future. 

All the best Majak, its a shame we didnt see you lay one game in the R & B.


Didn't Majak give as the reason he couldn't afford to lose his drivers licence last week was because he wouldn't be able to get to Casey? Oh well. 

Unfortunately we turned out to be just a little too good for him to get a senior game during his time with us. I wish him well.

So the club and club doctors made a false injury report you reckon? Rubbish.

I take Daw at his word. Seems a ripper fella and his footy career will ultimately be judged by his community impact more than his stats.

I hope he continues to manage his mental health

And now he’s a Melbourne supporter, so he’s got to manage the myriad of emotions we all know comes with that.

All the best Majak.

Certainly a real pioneer for Sudanese kids starting out in the AFL.

All the best in your future and beyond.

I hope he is ok, a bit worried tbh.

One chapter closes, another opens.  All the very best for bright horizons. Thank you Majak!

What? No I meant he clearly wasn’t injured or contemplating retirement prior to the mid season draft. 
I was responding to the assertion that he should have done this beforehand.

Please see my comment above. I was responding to the poster complaining that Majak didn’t do this earlier so we could pick someone up on the mid season draft. 
 

I have nothing but respect for Majak and what he’s overcome. 

All the best to Majak and his family for what comes next. If nothing else, having more exciting players of his heritage in our game is only a good thing.

 

All the best Majak, would love to have seen him feature at some point but it wasn't to be. I'm sure there's some exciting things in store.

The timing doesn't really help a lot to be honest, retirements smack bang in the middle of the year are not that normal and our tall stocks are one crunch away from a telethon.

Will always remember him celebrating post GF. You would swear he had just won the Norm. Great bloke to have had around the club

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
