Majak Daw selected to make his AFL debut

I think, Aaron, that that might be one of the most remarkable 18 minute debuts on record. The sub total of his game was 2 kicks for 1 goal and 1 behind, 2 marks - one of which was a ripper that nearly bought the house down - and his one hit out had the crowd gasping that he leapt so high.

Then, 18 minutes in (after finding time to spend a few moments on the bench), manages to KO himself against a team mates head...not the sort of follow up act he was wanting, but enough to add to the folklore of what was a terrific cameo in his first appearance. Based solely on the crowd reaction, that debut has to be right up there with Nic Natanui for responding to the hype.

If that 18 minutes is a sign of things to come, Majak could well be on the way to a huge career, and almost certainly an iconic figure in the game.

Some people bemoan the fact that the game doesn't have the entertainers...pointing out that the days of Ronnie Andrews, Mark Jackson, Robbie Muir, Mal Brown won't be back. True. But we don't need them.

The entertainers of today...Franklin, Nic Nat, Howe, Lewis Jetta, Rioli, Karmichael Hunt and others...set the crowds to their collective feet with their deeds, and Daw may well be headed the same way.
