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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
