Moved Thread #1: Majak Daw -

[nelroo]

absolutely gobsmacked, wow 109 and 127 in the shithouse draft by all, is better then Daw and Harper, GOBSMACKED I say.

One of those picks will be used to upgrade Fordham and I'm sure will pick up a delisted free agent so we will not use pick 127.

I've been told first hand by former Western Jets team mates the whole case against Maj is a total fabrication, sadly no matter who his name is tarnished .
It's a now 7 years down the track and its likely to be what he says vs what she says

You are spot on, can't wait until the case is over he will have nothing to answer for I don't want to go into details or sources but I'm confident, extremely confident.. In terms of him being a north player I'm not really sure just depending on how much background information other clubs have done in regards to this case will determine where he ends up.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I blame Brad Green for this decision. Told you he was a shit coach.

 

[Event Horizon]

On one hand it feels odd risking years we put into his development, for someone to just come in and snap him up. On the other hand he still has a very long way to go, and if Goldy went down he wouldn't be the answer anyway. Plus the trial factor.

 

[AbbaRoos]

Surprised with Majak being delisted and it is a gamble waiting for him to be re-rookied as he is definitely a better back up ruckman than going around at other clubs. Delaney I could live with, Majak I want around the club (court case pending). The positive angle must be Goldie is going to sign a big long term contract any second now.

 

[TruRoos7]

But the issue is, we can't play brown in the ruck as he is our replacement for Petrie and waite and the other backups are further off being viable options than Maj. Would have been better to just bite the bullet and keep him on the list. We moved on a lot of guys this year, in harper, loose, grima, patch etc. we have never used 40 guys in the ones anyway. So saying we needed the list spot or would be one down if he was found guilty seems like a cop out to me:

 

[KangaRooster]

Have to admit I'm fairly shocked about this, and disappointed.
Hoping we rookie him, can't imagine what the club has in mind for a backup to Goldy, if he goes down we go from top 4 to battling for 8th. Maj could've definitely kept us in the hunt if that was the case.

 

[Passmore]

We intended to redraft but Geelong got in before us.

So instead, we wasted a spot on Max Warren.

As opposed to wasting it on Cam Delaney.....

Do people really think that the club are not going to pick up a back up ruckman? We were in the same spot 3 years ago when we drafted Currie.

In all likelihood whoever we pick up will be a more viable replacement than Daw anyway.

At least it means Blackie has one less competitor for that forward line gig

What is this assumption based on? At least for the 2016 season.

They'll be either a kid, a state league player or delisted player most likely with less athletic/explosive upside.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Unless they can effectively play a ruck and one other role which no one else in the squad can do, Daw was our best bet to back Goldy up. So I'm laughing.

 

[LT Smash]

My suspicion is the football department never really wanted Majak in the first place but were strong armed into giving him a go by marketing/admin. As a fresh coach, Brad Scott didn't really have the power to resist. Now that Majak has become a liability off field, and with the coach having reached back-to-back prelims, the tide has turned.

That's an interesting accusation.
You mean to say JB and Brad don't see eye to eye?

Poor b*****. The blame has started early. Just to help keep the ball rolling. Greens.

Okay, I look forward to Cameron Delaney making us pay in years to come.

[Mr Reliable]

The club has made the correct call. Majak's bursts were breathtaking but there were never going to be enough of them.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Rohan Marshall

Que?

 

[GarnerSmash]

Oh, Rowan Marshall.

Is that a saucy call?

 

[Duck king Carey]

Maj gone, yeah na, I don't know, bit suprised

 

[tiltraise]

Its quite possible the club has its eye on 2 x DFA's.

In this scenario we needed to delist Harper + 1 and it came down to a choice between Maj + McKenzie.

 

[benbanjo]

He might not be able to cover Goldy for a long stretch however he is good cover for 1 or 2 games.....

I don't rate Daw's upside as high as others. I would prefer a Currie type as back up. I don't see an issue finding a solid state league back up.
