Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

[naturally north]

For a bottom 4 team, yeah

You aint no Cassius Clay, more like Tom Turd.

Brown probably won't get up for Round 1

Yep, wouldn't be wise to pick him without any match fitness. Would expect a Daw-Waite-Wood forward line for round 1. Will need Maj as support ruck, particularly if Preuss is playing for an injured Goldy.

 

[Donkey Chop]

Well that was boring. I had much higher hopes of a decent troll.

 

[dus]

Haha getting trolled by pies supporters.

Comical level: FIGJAM

Brown is well ahead on the track to recovery and should be right for round 1. Let's not forget that Majak's main issue in the past has been a lack of aerobic fitness. He certainly won't be getting rushed into the side. From whenever he gets back to full training, a month in the VFL will be mandatory. Brown is also a better player. Over the course of their respective careers, he has achieved significantly more.

My advice to Majak in future would be to stay off the wakeboard in January in future.

Just saying how I saw it at training. BBB was moving more gingerly than Maj, but wasn't much to go on. I personally don't care who plays round 1, just hoping they are fit.

Gees- have you softened regarding Maj?

Somewhat. Was impressed with what he displayed in the final. Only one match but you are only as good as your last game. Disappointed with the wakeboarding incident. Was a walk up start prior to that but has opened the door for others now.

Still reckon he needs to lose more muscle mass, he is not going to be able to run out games carrying that much muscle

Maybe they will bring in zones and he can beef up over next summer.

 

[Jindrrk]

Heh I reckon he hits the gym and his muscles grow just by sitting under the barbell.

And I do agree. I think he still needs to lose a bit of mass. Carrying that extra weight just makes your cardiovascular system work a lot more. But he was quite unlucky with preseasons before so it could be half the problem as well.

Well done Maj, has put a bit of muscle on the legs, compared to this from a couple of seasons back :

Here is something about Maj playing more footy.....

Ziebell: Daw's time
February 16, 2017 11:04 AM

North Melbourne captain Jack Ziebell says Majak Daw will be given every opportunity to lock down a regular senior spot in 2017.

Daw played the last five games last season and was one of few standouts in the Elimination Final against Adelaide, booting four goals.

Returning from a meniscus injury, he’s aiming to play in the latter stages of the JLT Community Series.

“His highlight reel is quite outstanding and what he can do in the air and also on the ground with his ability and his athleticism but the team stuff Maj does really well is why we love him playing,” Ziebell said on SEN.

“This year we’re going to look to give him an extended opportunity in the team. You look throughout his career and he’s sort of been in and out of the side a lot for various reasons and personnel was one of those reasons last year with a couple of senior guys.

“We’re really going to look to Maj this year to step up and take his spot by the scruff of the neck and really consolidate his spot in the senior side. Hopefully he can do that.”

Two players likely to get their chance against Sydney on Sunday, Ryan Clarke and Mason Wood will be hoping to step up again in 2017.

“We’ll look to get them into the side really early and consolidate their positions and for them to play good roles for us this year,” Ziebell said.

North will name its 29-man squad at midday on Thursday.

 

[Twinkletoes]

How's his training going? Can't wait to see more of that EF form.

 

[Firestarter]

Had a read of the 3AW material and yeah, still not really suited here so I'll move on.

If Daw can make the 2nd game we're good. If only the 3rd we might be okay. If neither, round 1 could hurt.

Assuming this is the same audio as the soundcloud clip I recommend people listen to this. Majak is an absolute credit to himself, his family and the club. His answers are intelligent and thoughtful without being naive or defensive at all.

I didn't spot him yesterday
