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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
