Past #1: Majak Daw [Part II] - 54 NM games/43 NM goals - delisted end '20 - SSP selection for MFC '21 - retired mid-'22

[Snake_Baker]

Maj, there's no pressure, because if you actually realise your natural born talent and treat this like a training run, then there's nothing any opposition player can do to stop you.

 

[Snake_Baker]

What's be getting his big boof head in the frame for?

Did he invent Sudanese football also?

 

[jackster83]

Glad to see he's back, and would like to wish him all the best.

 

[King Corey]

Doesn't come across as happy go lucky as once upon a time. Maybe that was all a facade though.

Excited for his comeback (wish fate had made it against *, Richmond or Visy) but hope those close to him are alert to his wellbeing afterwards. It's another roller coaster moment in a bloke whose life seems full of overly accentuated peaks and troughs.

All the best in your game back Majak. Gives a lot of people with MH issues hope.

After the sadness of Shane Tuck passing this is a great story. Thanks mate. + vibes greatly appreciated

 

[Snake_Baker]

Just don't overthink it Maj.

Play instinctive footy, back yourself in, and your skill will do the rest.

Yep very well stated! And I just want to get ******* angry about the last ten *en years. I almost wish he'd gone elsewhere.

So, so good. He keeps amazing me.

 

[Rad Roo]

Just remember why he had a break out year in 2018 then all will be easy from there.

IF ...

playing his first game in the AFL back in 2013 was a virtual Mission Impossible for Majak Daw ...

THEN ...

match No.51 this weekend may be his Everest. One of the all-time great AFL stories, this comeback.

 

[Gorman2Geister]

So happy to see Majak back. What a great story but I have not heard one reference to the comparably incredible comeback of Jason McCartney since the announcement. Even Brady on the radio when asked about whether or not he has seen a comeback like this in his time in footy didn't mention it. Reading about what McCartney had to go through to even train let alone play at an elite level in Boomer's book was a massive eye opener and clarified to me why he pulled the pin after the one match (hope Maj doesn't do the same!)

I know the circumstances which befell them were completely different but the resolution, dedication and sacrifices shown by these two champions to once again represent this incredible football club embodies everything which make it so special to us all....

Mixing a movie metaphor with a mountain metaphor. Trash writing.

He probably got confused as he wasn’t going with his usual acid-tongued drivel.

I’ve just noticed North’s listed 6 forwards:-

Cam Zurhaar
Nick Larkey
Bailey Scott
Jack Mahony
Majak Daw
Curtis Taylor

Let that sink in! The changes have really crept up on us.

An inspiring journey - Majak Daw's return

Majak Daw will run out for the first time in nearly two years against Adelaide.

The fact he can even walk is a miracle. I can't believe he is playing today. Cried watching the videos at the start in hospital. What an amazing comeback.

 

[Snake_Baker]

It was probably why he took so long to come to hand.

Footy should be dead serious for Maj now.

2 talks who can take contested marks. 2 flankers who can mark it and get it non the ground, and 2 smalls. It's a nice balance.

Just add KT for Mahony (at this point in time) and that's a very balanced forward line.

Ultimately, getting BBB back in there & firing strengthens it again.

I doubt it would occur to him that mixing metaphors is a no - no

Anyone think Maj will retire after the match, leave the hub going back to Melbourne to be at his sons’ 1st Birthday?
