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. 

Massive apologies then, I interpreted that completely wrong.

 

Well that cements the Weeds position as a backup ruckman. I saw Majak play some very good games at Casey. Sorry to see him go.

I hope he’s okay.

The great thing about recruiting guys like him, Dunstan, Mitch Brown etc, means that our draft recruits jump into a Casey team loaded with experience and can build up their experience playing around quality, just as those who break into the first team are able to learn shoulder to shoulder with the best.

Good luck Majak - your time with the Demons has been invaluable for those young hopefuls.

Oh good, we’ll pick up a replacement in the midseason draft *checks notes* 3 weeks ago. 

Jerk comment

Good luck Majak - so sorry that injury hit at just the wrong time when a replacement ruck was needed for Max.   Still your contribution to the whole team effort in Perth for the 2021 finals campaign was invaluable, providing a valuable foil for Max in trying drills and scratch matches.

Thanks for your contribution.


Thanks for being a Demon Majak. All the best for the future. 

It is interesting to note that despite unfortunately never playing a game for us, nobody has ever called Majak Daw a 'list clogger.'

I think that reflects well on him.

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.

The timing isn't great I agree. It will work against both Melbourne's & particularly Casey's prospects this season. Still, it will provide more opportunity for Jack Bell to show what he can do for Casey, and push for some consideration as a Melbourne player (late draft, rookie) in 2023.

Lovely to hear Jack Bell acknowledging Majak’s input. On the subject - as a Casey listed player does Bell gat any chance to be exposed to Max at training?

I daresay we will be looking for a Daw replacement.  Bell looks a good prospect and he seems to have the right attitude.

As a delisted player we can just add him to our rookie list as we did Daw, (a preseason selection) without going through a draft.  Or take him as a DFA later in the year into the senior list, again without going through a draft.

Pre covid the Casey players rarely trained with the AFL listed players even those who were not vying for senior selection.

It makes sense in that AFL players are full time and train during the work day as compared to VFL players who have outside full time jobs

Good call, only tuned in to Casey the last couple of weeks but I've been impressed with what I've seen from Bell so far. 

He really was perfect back up to Max; strong, capable, not pushing for games, and a ripping bloke from what I have heard.

Loved how he talked about how much he enjoyed being ‘a part of the premiership last year’ and the juxtaposition of that attitude and of our FB is not lost on me. Teams don’t win flags, clubs do.


I may have missed it, but has Majak explained why he is retiring now? Just seems odd to me. I know he is currently injured but you’d think he’d want to be part of a Casey premiership. I sincerely hope there are no other “health” issues involved. If there are, I hope we get behind him.

Edited by Neil Crompton

It's a bit sad that he never got a game with us. Just one would have been fine.

That said, I can't really remember a reserves player get a send off video on the club's SNS. It says a bit about how important he is to the fabric of the club.

Well done Majak. Your persistence, your representation of your community and committment to both your clubs (seeing how happy he was after we won the flag last year was a sight to see) is inspiring. If North were smarter, they would still have you on their list.

Said the latest injury setback just made him realise he doesn't have it in him to go through the recovery. Has some good opportunities waiting for him outside of footy. 

He seems at peace with the decision and I am sure the club will continue to support him through the transition this year.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
