A selection approach pretty much all have issues with. But if it's Majak it should come back in vogue?

I had issues with Petrie's ongoing selection, and Dal's, and others at times.

Yeah I would hope those days are gone, I have no issue with Maj missing. I do think he has been treated poorly in the past. He played well against * and was dropped for the following match against Carlton

Not based on his praccy match form last weekend.......he played in the ruck. So it appears their prepping him for Ruck duties instead of Forward duties.
I'd suggest they wanted him to get some run in his legs, will play fwd as in has been groomed for that role and relief ruck duties.

Will come in for Waite but he'll struggle and wont do his confidence any good. Mckay hasnt lit the world on fire but atleast he is a pure forward and has had an uninterrupted preseason.

He couldn't compete in the JLT, just too soon. I have only been worried about Maj really once, last year when he kept dropping marks. Not an issue now, happy to give him the run.

A huge amount of pressure on Maj today, underdone from an interrupted pre season. No Goldie so him and Pruess to swap duties ruck n fwd. Hoping he can compete when fwd and bring the ball to the ground where we should have some smalls to capitalise.

I wish his form in the lead up had been better- oh well, go Majak and will be excited as I always am when he's near the ball...... anything could possibly happen.

Hope the injuries aren't to bad.....

First for contested marks (4) third for contested possession (11) and second for 1%ers (4) fourth for inside 50's (4)

Am positive some will find fault
To me he seemed to read the play and flite of tbe ball better today. Also a couple of very nice little taps to advantage of others.

looked great and really asserted himself in the last qtr. starting to use his body a bit better aswell. really hope hes okay and able to play next week. need to persist with him. kicked 4 goals vs adelaide in the final last year. give him an extended run of games and he will come good.
