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: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
