Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

[The Nostradamus]

Really liked Majs game. We look so much more dangerous with him in. Has presence, tackled hard and took big grabs.
Can play mid, forward and ruck.
Much prefer him to Brown.

Brings so much excitement to our side, his tackle on Crowley was amazing

Yep and brown and petrie have proven themselves time and time again. 5 mins of greatness from daw the rest putrid

He's played 19 games ffs. First game back since how long??? And he's the best forward we had today.

17 mate and probs half as sub.

 

[Psychic Roo]

Maj did well for a guy with 17 games under his belt. We'll never play serious with Majak, Waite, Petrie, Brown and Wood. Out of that lot Majak would be last picked every week.

what it showed today was he's worth persevering with. I think in time Brown and Daw will work well together.

Good to get some gametime into him. In case goldy gors down

Thought I heard Basil say 19 but I'll take your word over his any day!!

Daw and Mullet have one thing in common. A complete lack of aerobic fitness. Thus incapable at AFL level

 

[LuvtheKangas]

One of our best in the first half when we were going well. No more or less crap than most of the others after half time.

I hope we keep him in and rest Brown, Drew and Waite/Goldy over the next three weeks.

You're up to 46 posts in 7 years now, and half of them bagging Daw over the last week.

Still, not your worst effort on this forum ...

Let's hook into daw for a miss when a dozen+ senior teammates had howlers. Some people have nfi.

 

[NMFCARSENAL98]

Was terrific today I thought. Take him over Brown any day

Have the privilege of not seeing the posts that cause angst. The 'button' is under rated. Although wouldn't mind a peek

 

[SMaturin]

Our only forward target that looked like marking the ball.

He was poor today

Stay away from the north Melbourne selection panel pls.

 

[kangaspurs]

He was poor today

No he wasn't. He was our best key forward and behind Goldy and Tarrant, our 3rd best tall across the game.

 

[numchuks]

Typical Majak game. Was part awesome, part shithouse.

Had he kicked that goal from inside 50 and the other where he waltzed into goal and sprayed it, he'd have 4 and his game would have been much different story.

But he didn't, so now we're left lamenting another what could have been performance from Maj.

 

[Harris 10]

Tough to judge.

Does so much wrong when he doesn't have the footy in hand, he blew up again today as he did last week against Willi.

Did some good things as well.

 

[ansonholt]

His pressure and tackling in the first half was huge. Then dropped off in the 2nd half, along with about 10 others. Needs more time at this level.

Hardly a revalation. Mind you its does break up the drop gibbo posts a little.

 

[archereleven]

I liked his game and he should be playing again this week instead of Brown whether credits in the bank or not.

Brown is a better forward atm but Maj is leagues ahead as a ruck man.

 

[shniko11]

The way Daw was used today Ruck, Mid, Forward was great.

Alot of u that watch VFL called it and i liked it. At one ball up Goldy was Ruck and Daw went up for the tap.
At another centre bounce Goldy ruck and Daw rover and it can throw the opposition using him like that and he is more effective it seems.
Took a few nice marks, tackling and bumping was also good.

The fact we were to tall everyone already knows even Brad but he tried a few different things today.
How often we can use Daw like that this year with Wood in the team i'm not sure but good signs today.

For mine today was about showing Majak deserves to be on an AFL list, I believe he proved that. Regardless of being around for seven years, seems a few use that as some sort of point of validation- for what I'm not sure. I don't see the relevance in that, happy to be enlightened?

Both Brown and Majak are important to our future. We kept Ayden Kennedy on the list for five years without playing a game.

Yep was great times, useless the next.

I think he will be omitted - a tad harshly as he was impressive but there's no room.

Excellent to have him on the list for cover though, and maybe more if he starts putting it together for 4 quarters.

 

[Kciza]

Majak doesn't seem to lead much, just sort of drifts forward of the ball and just stands there waiting for the ball to get kicked to him. Might have something to do with his endurance, or maybe it's a habit he's developed in the VFL where he can get away with it. Needs to start leading toward the ball carrier

 

[gokangas]

My comment in match thread sticks for me - 10 minutes of glory and 90 of crap. In hindsight he was probably OK over the game. Probably worth another run.
