Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

[naturally north]

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

 

[Only Forwards]

How about he demands a spot? A bit sick of the 'gift him a stretch of games' view after all this time.

Thing is when he does demand it we have to play him.

That has not always been the case.

I'd like to think this year, in particular, that will happen. Equally, if he doesn't demand it, then it's fairly and squarely on him.

 

[Black2Blue]

Looks underdone. I dont think he can preform off limitted preperation like other players. Give him a few games in the VFL to get his mojo back and then an extended run in the seniors.

That was my take on it from watching him a the Hawks game too. I hope it pans out this way.

The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away...

Has to come in for Waite.

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.

It is his best position (ruck).

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.

 

[DunderHead]

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.

 

[naturally north]

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.

 

[Unity-28]

and got tunneled (same with brown) all game.....
did well today did Maj.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I didn't realise he got injured - did it happen late in the game (when he almost held that hanger in the fwd pocket)?

Second or third quarter. Browny stood on his ankle as they contested a mark in the 50.

nah, i think it was early in the 3rd. had knee re strapped, and seemed fine after.

 

[ansonholt]

Might be rucking next week, if he's fit. Great game today. Seemed like he belonged. Maybe the first time we can confidently say that.

 

[astrovic]

Fine? Could barely move. Only thing that got him through was the fact he was warmed up.

He's going to have a sore, sore knee tomorrow.

after getting it restrapped he looked fine, towards the end, he was stuffed....hopefully lack of conditioning

OK, makes sense as his output was a little down in the second half. Really good game overall, though.

He looked proppy to me. Yes he could move on it but you could tell from how he pulled up after a run that he wasn't enjoying it.

 

[hellas_johnny]

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.

 

[Elite Master]

I think he is going to compete a lot more consistently from now on. No longer will he have games where he does 1 or 2 great things and then go missing for the rest of the game. His footy smarts have grown.
