Haven't seen much, doesn't mean we won't. Physical attributes rather than ability got him rookied according to some in the know at his TAC club.

Which is true with pretty much every kid at or above 195cm who is rookied. If he had the game to go with the athletic talent he would've been a first round pick!
Not sure how many games he will end up playing but i reckon there will be some pretty bloody exciting ones. Freaky athlete to say the least
Lol jokes it's football why do we even need coaches, assistant coaches, development coaches, sport scientists and analytical coaches since we just need to kick more goals then the opposition
. Suppose that is why Melbourne are so good because they spent so little time on their football department. I also doubt football was that professional for the vast majority of the 90s compared to todays standards. Watch a game from the 90s and see how it compares to modern football.Log in to remove this Banner Ad

Ok Einstein. The four coaches you listed are required to teach the animals to chase a ball.
The sports scientists are there because we're (unfortunately) not allowed to use drugs, and this is one alternative to ensuring that the aforementioned animals can run fast and recover from injuries so they can keep chasing balls more.
FYI While the "Sports scientists" need an education to perform their duties, the people who are actually playing the sport don't. You remember that Fevola guy, right? Absolutely dominated for your team a couple of years ago. Despite this, he actually couldn't count to fifty. This isn't speculation by the way, I know this for a fact.
I would have thought the reason that Melbourne was "so good" was their players? But yes, obviously the quality of the football department matters.
This is completely irrelevant. You said that Stynes was not professional, and I am telling you that Stynes profession was football. Also, pretty sure in the 90's there were still coaches, assistant coaches, sport scientists, and development coaches. Football has changed that much in 15 years.
Probably the shittest post I've seen on Bigfooty, including the Bay.

Is be astounded of he reaches 100
Not really since players are expected to do more then chase a ball nowadays.
Who is responsible for the Demons players development? Other then themselves? Fevola was a dumbass but their are plenty of players with decent intelligence running around and do remember that he was kicked out of two clubs despite his talent. In fact Fevola was likely to be traded even earlier in his career until Dennis Pagan came in. Clubs even take the time to educate the players now since they get a few players come through with poor education.
Mate there is tons of work involved in football beyond chasing a ball. You do realise that things like structures, gameplans and coaches win sides flags?
I studied sport science for a few years so it always feels odd when you see guys like this are still out there.
Classic tall poppy syndrome and his career has barely started
Laugh at the people using Fridays game as a indication of anything when North's midfield was just insipid.
Yeah exactly, not even Buddy Franklin or Cloke would have gotten much action with the delivery Majak got on Friday.
I think 2014 will be a big year for him.
100 games or more would be a fantastic result.

His problem is that he spends most of his time in the VFL developing as a ruckman rather than a key forward, if he is going to hold a spot in the side he has to be 75% a forward, 25% a ruckman. He has too much exposure on the aspect of his training he is exposed to the least.
Unless he is going to be a permanent forward in the VFL I can't see him making it. It is not Werribee's fault, they will play him wherever we want to play him.

50-150. He'll be given more time than most and will play some decent footy at times, but I don't think it will work out long term, doubt he'll break 100 games.
Then again, if I followed Melbourne, I'd probably think coaches do nothing as well.
This is the problem though, with his lack of football smarts, can he cope in this world where every single aspect of a team's game is managed to the nth degree? At 23, I think he needed to show more than he's already done. I just think he looks way too raw.

He was playing on Lukas Markovic for at least 8 of those shots. As soon as Young was switched onto him, he didn't get near the ball, and then for some inexplicable reason we switched Markovic back onto him. He dominated a VFL standard defender, so I wasn't overly impressed. We did see something special in his first game, but the fact is that he's far too overhyped, and so people mark him far too harshly.
I remember Setanta O'Hailpins early days, he was a similar age when he got games I believe.
He had no idea what he was doing, and still struggled when he finished up. Never saw a bloke look so out of his depth when he first got games, although those were the Pagan years and we were a seriously crap team.
I suspect Daw will be similar, O'Hailpin was a damn good athlete also.

He'll get to about 60 - 70 range and be delisted.

You were more impressed by his 3 touch game than by his 19 touch game? That's an odd one. Lots of VFL grade defenders ran out for AFL clubs last year, not many had opponents taking 10 scoring shots in a match on them. I can only watch that game through my blue and white glasses but Maj's combination of having both strength in a contest, explosiveness off the mark and speed on the lead seemed special to me. BTW two of his goals were on Roughead.

That mark to crash the pack and slot that goal looked special to me. As far as that game, I know for a fact that those ones kicked on Roughead were not Roughead's fault, due to free kicks, or the fact that he was trying to cover someone else/space and no one was helping him to cover Majak.

Could you believe I was in line buying a ticket when that happened? Got a membership this year so hopefully something like that will never happen again...

Majak is a good size and takes a strong mark so i image in an up and coming side he will play somewhere between 50-100 games.
His speed is good but not special I think. But I'm very impressed about the way he attacks the ball in the air and isn't afraid to take a hit or crunch a pack. Even against the Hawks he did break a few packs. I think that is probably his best footy trait so far. If he's good enough to ruck as the second ruck (both hit outs and around the ground work) then he'll be decent up forward even though he'll have quiet weeks when he plays on smart defenders or good teams.
Having a back up ruckman play FB is probably also part of Roughead's problems.

As a junior he played full back, until he got a growth spurt. And when you're tall in a junior league, you get played in the ruck. Also, Scarlett said he has the potential to be one of the best KPD's in the league. But yeah, he's just a back up ruckman
