Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

[shintemaster]

well until LT does it and a rule change is implemented.

I know I'm bitter - and he definitely has his faults - but I couldn't help but watch the Grand Final yesterday and pick out all the instances that would have been both commentated - and adjudicated - differently if LT was playing in that game. I know a lot of it is his natural competitiveness but he needs to go back to the drawing board over preseason, get a few of the coaching staff & players to make a few strategic comments about him playing the ball and literally be impeccable in this regard. If he can bring back that manic pressure at the man and the ball he will lift us massively. If he can't make it clear to the competition that he is immaculate with his approach we may as well not play him.

Yeah, Majak thread and all.

He starts hurting players and he'll be suspended. I'm certain.

Yes because he would be apparently "still learning the game".

Strange sprint from Maj, he had sort of a stop-start type of acceleration before hitting stride (where he looked like he had it) and then unexpectedly running out of juice about 10m from the finish...

I think his almost false start threw him off. Nearly stumbled forward.
To me it looked like he pulled up and let the dude win.

Hey guys is Maj still a rookie ? Will he get upgraded this year? If so with what pick. Sorry I'm just so confused about this status!

Signed a 3 year deal and will be on the senior list

Thanks mate. So in order for him to be put on the senior list, the club can use a late pick like pick 141?

I think he is already on the senior list permently now, but if not then we'll use those later picks to upgrade Daw and Pruess.

 

[naturally north]

Bloody Nora Maj just signed a three year deal, not normally what one does when a rookie listed player. Senior list 100%

Sorry, I thought you had to get upgraded to move from rookie to senior list..

 

[shinboner magic]

Hope he is given the chance from round 1

 

[Donkey Chop]

Watching Maj get a decent crack at it next year is exciting. Probably the thing I'm looking forward to the most tbh. He could be anything. Can't wait. Reckon he's going to be awesome to watch.

Lol, fortunately/unfortunately for Maj he doesn't get much of a choice

Can we play maj, brown, wood and Waite in the same forward line

 

[naturally north]

Can we play maj, brown, wood and Waite in the same forward line

No from me.

Waite should only play half a season plus finals if we're lucky enough.

Wood I'd play further up the ground as a hard running link up player with A grade skills.

Brown to be the fwd leader, Maj 2IC/ chief contest buster. Would then have the likes of Thomas,Turner, Hrovat, Garner, Anderson to be front and centre types looking for the loose ball.

If we go with the four you mentioned, we might as well bite the bullet and move Scott on. It hasn't worked yet and it won't start working now.

Given Waite and Wood's mobility and forward pressure, I think it could work. They'll try it I imagine, and we will know pretty quick if it works or not

 

[Rooboy 96]

Can we play maj, brown, wood and Waite in the same forward line

mpore then happy to rotate the four through 3 spots on match day, and come finals (whenever) we have four player capable of filling three spots, but pick on form not name.

What is a passing mark for Maj next year?

Averaging 20 possessions and 2 goals a game sees him in a breakout year for me.

Jeez if he does that he'll win the Brownlow!

Just needs to be more involved.

A few bone crunching tackles and strong marks are a given

20 as mainly a forward? Geez.

Will ruck and play through the middle.

Why get Brown to ruck?

Oh I agree. I reckon 10-15 possies,10 hitouts average plus 30 goals for the year would be outstanding.

Part time ruck. Goldy wants the big share of ruck duties.

Yeah 10-15 possessions a game should be a pass.

One thing I hope he cleans up is his marking. Can take mark of the year and then drop a no pressure sitter.
