I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but there’s a really good interview with CJ on the channel 7 series ‘Unfiltered’ where he talks about his family leaving Sudan and the challenges they faced.

It’s a great story.

    Rapt with this signing. our team suddenly has a lot of leg speed with CJ, Windsor, Langford, Chandler, Kozzie and others.

    On a scale of Harry Sharp to peak Steve May, you’d probably have this at a 6 in terms of opposition recruits.

    Solid pick up if he can remain injury free and can bring some speed to the team.

    Welcome, CJ!

    While many have noted some areas for development (decision-making/disposals) (and I agree), he is not alone there! I think the whole team should be working very hard on their skills and decision-making in the offseason.

    That said, what CJ does have is speed, dare, x-factor and will make a lot of fans quickly. The rest can be improved in time.

    We can build with guys like CJ.

    For those who haven't seen him play properly:
    CJ Vs Carlton

    He's not perfect, but when fit he's a pretty good intercept and dashing defender. Could play HBF or wing for us. If played across half back, it would free up Rivers or Salem or others to shift into the midfield more. He's best 23 ahead of Sharp and Sparrow and a few others IMO.

    Good trade for a late pick in a weak draft. Ready to go.

    Happy with the signing but I don't understand why we always give away future picks in these deals. Not huge in the scheme of things but we are now down a future 3rd and 4th pick next year.

    Every single time we give up more than we should - it's absolutely ridiculous.

    If Tim Lamb was a real estate agent he'd sell the house and chuck in the furniture, the dog and a slab of beer on top.

    Big day for the MFC coterie, CJ will be the first South Sudo bloke they’ve ever met 😂

    I think @deegirl's comment still stands. Majak was at the club during COVID, so probably no real chance for the coterie to meet him. He was only with us for a microsecond as well.

    A lot better than the 1st we're down this year, though? (with a multiplier on it being Essendon 😄)

    You could claim complexity, dg: MD was born in Sudan (Khartoum) as distinct from South Sudan, while CJ's South Sudanese parents had him in Mekelle, Ethiopia (thanks Wikipedia).

    Did we really have to give up 2 picks for him? Seems weird.

    Hawks will toss them at the Dons... to further salt their wound.

    Welcome CJ

    According to everyone on Demonland basically all players are hack kicks so pfft.

    I'm looking forward to watching this guy play with a bunch of athletisim, enthusiasm and excitement.

    If we're going for speed, athleticism and totally unpredictable disposal out of the back line, let's go the whole hog.

    Bring back Frosty!!

    Seriously, I'm looking forward to CJ in the red and blue. He's exciting. What's lacking can be taught.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
