  • 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

    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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
