Past #1: Majak Daw [Part II] - 54 NM games/43 NM goals - delisted end '20 - SSP selection for MFC '21 - retired mid-'22

[blackshadow]

The fourth best key defender in the game according to Champion Data

Nek Minnet Maj = The Black Rance!

 

[The Dingrel]

Imagine Maj made AA in the next year or so...

If he plays like he did yesterday in 2019, and plays every game, would have to be odds on to make AA

 

[Twinkletoes]

Ahhhhh...................Wayne Carey?

Different sort of sure hands of course, with Dempsey dropping back to cut off opposition kicks into their forward line with hands like suction cups, much as Majak has been doing from within the backline with hardly a fumble.

Duck took on all comers up forward and was a contested marking beast.

Commanded the air in the back half yesterday.

Has become a new footballer.

I was ****ing ropeable when Tarrant came over the top and spoiled a clear Majak mark back into the corridor.
Whose helping who here???

Taz had a few shockers yesterday including that nothing kick streaming forward late in the game. A game to forget for him.

If Majak had the ducks bodywork, he'd take 30 marks a game.

 

[astrovic]

When Maj won that footy down back with about a minute to go, did anything else hope for a repeat of this?

 

[The Other Dean]

Nek Minnet Maj = The Black Rance!

I prefer 'The Bermudaw Triangle'.

Footballs enter his air space and just get swallowed up.

 

[muttley45]

It's probably only a small sample size, but i would like to know our successful centre square clearance count/ruck contest for our swingman.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Congrats Maj - what a ride!

Here's hoping the next 50 is done in 2 seasons - with the 100th game a GF win!!!

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He was our best ruckman and best defender yesterday.

Snake i've been quietly reading this thread for many many months. when i saw your post i had to re-read it a few times just to be sure. It's really looking like Maj has bloody made it!

(not a piss take)

Maybe snake will have to jinx a few more players. He has done wonders with dumont and maj ; steinl00ks

One thing I will say about Majak this year is that he plays like he gives a ****. But not in a faux helpless sort of vain mindset - he doesnt attempt to play outside of his limitations. In fact I’d argue he puts more of a premium on conceding goals than Tarrant/Thompson/MacMillan do.

 

[Harris 10]

I wouldn’t taken 500/1 on Maj playing 50 games 4 years ago.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

I would have let you name your price if you'd told me Anderson and Daw would be as good as they've become.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Confidence is a ****ing powerful thing.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

They need to be more aggressive with him and swing him forward when our mids are shitting the bed. Our midfield are praying for a miracle dumping sky balls to brown 2 v 1 and other forwards up the ground.

Certainly keep him down back but when the time comes pull the trigger Ffs. We have this tactical weapon but seem loathe to use him.

 

[Benno_900]

I was gunna say Pot aint gunna be happy with this

View attachment 546123



But looks like Pot is even a convert now, so happy for Maj it's been a long ride but it is going to be fun for the next few years. Sign him up now North!!!

His new schtick it to talk up Nathan Hrovat as an AFL footballer.

 

[Royal Flush]

I think the next step in Majak's football evolution is to become a bit more attacking minded when he gets the ball.

After just about every mark he takes (which is about 10 a game), his first instinct is to go back and look sideways for the chip kick to a team mate.
He is actually a really good kick of the footy, so i think he should be encouraged to mark, play on, and look for a more attacking option.

Love what he has done this year, couldnt be prouder for him!

It's his confidence and I strongly believe it's on the white board..
Maj to pass 90 degrees in D50 to leading option.
No option bomb it to a 50/50 on the wing.

Perhaps footy IQ can be learned?
Considering the hours invested by some keyboarders you would hope so.

2019.

Can see Brad using him the same way as WC use McGovern.

Send him down for the last 15 minutes of games.


He's only just built up his confidence, he will be a whole other player with another 4 months of solid training over pre-season.

He obviously didnt account for the symbiotic relationship of impact versus talent... Both calls hideously wrong. Stick to darts.

problem is he has already made that jump to play forward when needed. We just don't pull the trigger.

You beauty!CHF just opened up and I hope we drive the Majak Daw appreciation bus straight through the gap.
