Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

[Heaps of fun]

Yes, I think we all have our fingers crossed that Durdin (and Nielsen) come on. But, if they don't...

We've got Watson and Larkey developing.

Certainly its his to take at the moment. Hopefully with consistent games and remaining injury free can see him deliver on his talent.

No better example to follow than Taz in that regard.

Daw has played 25 games in his 1st 7 years. Taz had only 39 himself in his 1st 7.

Both big boys with great to freakish athleticism. Hopefully Daw rips the comp apart this year along with Wood.

Geezus. Arthroscopic surgery.

So over injuries...

Hmmm, Maj's thread hasn't been bumped in a while, I wonder what the new posts are about?

Reads new posts.

Didn't want to alarm anyone, but heard him talking to a Physio yesterday about his knee.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Will set him back 6 weeks

 

[boneofshin]

Really s**t news on the eve of a season in which he seemed destined to finally establish himself as a regular senior player. Might still happen but he'll be coming from a way back.

Perhaps opportunity beckons for Ben McKay though?

Could be blessing for big pussy!
Hope maj has a successful recovery.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Shite news. Everything had finally aligned for Maj to have a proper run.

 

[Harris 10]

Has he ever had a full pre season?

 

[Jack Bradley]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Harris 10]

Will set him back 6 weeks

Same injury that Higgins got last year isn't it?
Closer to 10 to 12 if that is the case.

Majak Daw has undergone arthroscopic surgery this afternoon after injuring his right knee at training on Monday.

The 25-year-old was completing straight-line running when he reported some discomfort to medical staff.

“There was no warning of any issues prior to Monday so this was an unexpected and unfortunate setback,” GM Football Cameron Joyce said.

“We discovered a tear in his meniscus so he was immediately referred to a specialist.”

After a review, Daw was admitted to hospital to have his meniscus repaired.

“It’s too difficult to put a timeframe on his return to full fitness at this stage, but we are confident he’ll be available in the opening rounds of the season,” Joyce added.

“We’ll know the extent of damage and amount of recovery time required after the surgery has been performed. At that point we will provide a further update to our members.”

Afl.com.au reporting he's out for 2 months.

Hopefully he'll be back soonish, but if football clubs are always optimistic with their assessment, and we're saying "opening rounds", then with a dash of pessimism I'd say round 5 which is mid-April which is more like 3 months.

Ah well, wouldn't complain if that sees McKay or Preuss or both debut in the meantime.

Thought this one was more apt.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I swear players from other clubs who hve knee arthroscopes are back within 4 weeks but all of our seem to be 8-12 weeks.

*s sake

 

[Arden]

Should have kept Petrie.

 

[Firestarter]

Because Daw is the only tall forward we have. If that isn't untagged sarcasm.

 

[Gasometer]

Relax.

2 weeks.
