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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
