  • 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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
