Along with Zuhaar, it's great to see.
I wouldn't say he is hurting Pot, maybe embarrassing him a tad.

Lol. Can we bookmark it? So proud of Majak today. I might just pay my two paving stones at Arden Street a visit tomorrow!You heard it here first - NMFC premiers in 2018!
That tackle today was epic. He hits exceptionally hard (but legally) when he tackles. As a player you don't forget that and it weighs on your mind for the rest of the gameI'm in the hoping but not believing camp with Maj, but I do think he ads a dimension of fear to the opposition forwards with his tackling when the ball hits the ground, both the talls and the smalls.
Got some massive units in our team nowBetween him, Zurhaar and Ziebell, they will kill someone with their tackling. I'm alright with that.
The extra piece I liked today was when he contested a series of boundary throw ins with McEvoy - Maj used his muscle to repeatedly push Big Boy out of the way - the first time I have seen him do that. He got a blast from BS last year when that Essendon ruckman outpointed him at boundary throw ins - today Maj was allover it and shows he is improving in all aspects of the game.
He's other issue was his tank....now playing out games.I don't want to get sucked into him, but his ceiling as a defender is pretty damn high.
Yes he can have a brain fade, but so can a heap of other players.
He has elite size, strength and speed for a defender and he's a great contested mark.
Remember this bloke has never played more than 4 or so games in a row at a time.
If he can settle and play a whole season at CHB, god knows what he could do.
He's looking better every game.
If he can become a solid AFL player, he still has a good 4-5 years of football in him.
Apart from punching the ball right across the front of the goal 30 metres out (which, I believe was just a bad fist connection), I don't believe he made an error. Luckily, we got away with it. There was a stage during the last quarter when we were 19 points up when I, actually, thought he was our last man standing with the ability to hurt the Hawks players. Then, a few others stood up.A very good game today.

He actually looked like a bloke that knew how to play defence for the first time.
He didn't run over the ball. He didn't drop easy marks and he generally cleared the high ball well (except for that one time he punched the thing straight in to the waiting arms of a Hawthorn player in the corridor).
However, there was bugger all defensive pressure inside Hawthorns 50 today, they had 7 T50's for the match, they were averaging 13. It won't be that easy next week against Port.
Wat?Watching general play live Maj sticks out to me, not in a good way. With everyone else you can usually see their positioning and movements and make sense of them based upon where they're fitting in with nearby teammates and the overall structure. Watching Maj I usually get the impression that he isn't quite fitting in with the others. Is that just me?
It makes me wonder why, if I'm seeing it correctly, is it so? If a player isn't a coheasive part of the team's roving structures then that slack must be attempted to be taken up by others, obviously a high burden with multiple downsides. So i wonder what are my options to make sense of this.
1. Maj is selected with the expectation of being an integral part of the team structure (IPTS), he is doing that and I just can't see it.
2. Maj is selected with the expectation of being an IPTS and is failing.
3. Maj is selected without the expectation of being an IPTS.
1. This makes sense.
2. This makes sense if
a) being an IPTS is just one criteria to measure and despite failing at this Maj's overall value on field is still greater than the next in line for his spot
b) we aren't pushing for wins, want to finally settle on whether or not to keep him on and value that over giving game time to the next in line for his spot
c) other (times a bazillion)
3. This makes sense in the same way as 2(a) but without the failure.
What do you make of the above?
I'm not a gambler but at a guess I'd go with 3. Maj has aerobic and footy nous shortcomings that prevent him from being an IPTS but his impact on the contests he can be involved in outpoints that in the mind of the selection panel.

I think he was saying that the big man stands out because he doesn't do or go to where he expects him to. I think he is going well in his new roll. Now you have to decide what you want to thinkWat?
