I thought that , yes...now he can be put on the rookie list.We were supposedly looking at him last year weren't we?
Would love this.

Funny Shit that. :smirk lookFlawed Genius? Too busy on megathread duty. Currently assigned to Hugh Foott and Tim Van Der Klooster.
Is he any good?
Hasn't done much for a top 3 pick.
Worth hanging onto for another year is Majak. But if at the end of next year he isnt any better than he is now, sorry but he has to go.
I don't think any current or former Essendon player with a show cause for stupidity notice will get the maximum 2 years. It will be a slap on the wrist penalty when it's all said and done. :stern lookAll dealings with essendon players are fraught with danger.......he could have a 2 yr holiday coming up on the cards.
Make Majak a defender........i'd give him a year in Petrie's role so seeing as Drew is going on next year, I'd give Majak 2 years to make a fist of it.

exactly my thoughts as well, Majak is Petrie's replacement. Our job as a club now is to make sure when that time comes, Majak is primed.
FF is his best spot, but for mine Brown is the ideal Petrie replacement.
Next year id be looking at 2 of either Brown, Petrie or Waite. With ideally Waite and one of Brown or Petrie (together we're in danger of being exposed on the rebound). Waite has pace and ground skills while being a strong mark. Of course he'll have to earn his stripes as well.
Then theres Black, Tarrant and Wood for the 3rd tall spot and/ or forcing Waite out. Plus Curran who we must persist with, the kid is still only 21, we're gone to great effort to get that foot right and has enormous potential.
Daw has an huge leap when allowed a run at it, but despite all the muscles isnt great when bodied. Clearly lacks understanding of the game at this level and can not snap a ball to save himself. So cant drift out into the pockets at all. For mine he's well behind all of these guys.
Im not against trying Tarrant at FB for a year, and leave Black, Wood and Curran battle it out. As another poster highlighted he has turning circle like the titanic. He has no currency atm so we dont risk anything trying. Happy for him to battle out for KD spot with Tippett and even recruiting for it as well.
All of the above guys are above Daw imo.
Im also not against giving Daw another year btw, he has more upside than Curry. But less than the others as key position players. However Curry is the better ruck back up if Goldie has a long term injury. Daw could get away with it for a few weeks maybe.
Apparently O'Rourke was one of the more speculative top-three picks, and he's really done nothing yet, but if our recruiters believe in his talent—and they would have studied every GWS reserves game—he should be our first priority. His type, age, and supposed level of talent would make him perfect for our list considering the age of Wells, Dal Santo, Boomer, Gibson.
Outside classy Mid. Bit like Nick Dal Santo as a kid. Not sure why he hasn't come on.. worth a chance look at dom tyson or milesAlso I really know very little about O'Rourke, can someone explain how he plays and where he would fit in to our side? I know nothing but his name.
Cant see how Daws will ever get a run in our side with Brown playing. 4 Tall forwards ? And if Tarrant is fit its just makes it harder for him to be selected IMOi'd give him a year in Petrie's role so seeing as Drew is going on next year, I'd give Majak 2 years to make a fist of it.
