Majak Daw

The H/S seem to have taken our criticism onboard. The article is quite different now.

Ok I've missed something here so don't understand the middle ground sorry. Did North contact the media about Daw's suspension but not give details? I assumed North were quiet, as we were with Dan's suspension, but the media got onto it forcing them to give details to kill the speculation.

North announced it in a press conference.

How has North handled it diabolically? I reckon the media have whipped up a frenzy and alluded to the suspension being due to unrelated, and seemingly irrelevant, incidents. According to North Daw was suspended for being out at a night club while on rehab. Seems fair enough to me if that's their rules.

Read the North press release. Farce of the own making.
 
Is it just me or is it odd to hear Scott say: ''Majak assures me, and did a long time ago, that his conduct has been completely above board, and I take him at his word.''?

So when Majak tells Scott he wasn't out at a nightclub and has proven to have lied Scott takes him at his word on other matters?

Totally agree JB.

Funnily KB was in the same corner, thought Nth had handled it appallingly and felt sorry for the publicity Majak had received.
 
According to Arocca, Egyptians are liars and shouldn't be trusted:

CEO Eugene Arocca this morning defended the 20-year-old, who was suspended yesterday for lying to the club, describing him as a "great young man" who had fled war-torn Sudan and spent three years in Egypt as a young boy. That experience had shaped his world view, Mr Arocca said.
"This is a chap who was in Egypt for three years with his family as a 12-year-old. I think lying might have been a part of the way they had to survive. I think you've got to take that into account," Mr Arocca told radio station 3AW.

I can't believe this. Is this for real? What are they thinking down there at Arden St.
 
On one hand I am surprised that this is getting so much attention but on the other Norf absolutely milked the publicity at the time of his drafting and since for that matter.
You reap what you sow.

They have created a rod for their own backs. When the play-Majak hype first started he was still in the ressies at Werribee and looked like staying there. He now looks a capable VFL player who might deserve an AFL game - but with McIntosh back from injury to partner Goldstein he is no chance. And promoting off the rookie list won't happen with mature age rookies Gibson, Mangan, Urqhart and Lynch fighting for sports.
 
I'm not convinced we have been told the full story here. Seems rather excessive to suspend a rookie listed player indefinitely for lying.

Dunno, I'd want our club to do the same if one of our rookies told a bare faced lie straight to our coach about going out to a nightclub.

He'd apparently missed a few rehab sessions. The lie might well be the only time he got caught out for going out.
 
Have been told that some points raised by the media have been extremely watered down & there is more to this story than meets the eye!

Likely the case in most circumstances. Including those of our own players with current troubles.
 
Check this out.

Thought it was quite funny in lieu of recent circumstances.
