Attending secondary school at MacKillop College in Werribee, it was where Daw first played football.Daw played for the Western Jets in the TAC Cup, turning in some impressive performances in 2009. Draft camp results in the beep test, 20 metre sprint and standing jump caught North Melbourne’s eye. In the rookie draft, the Kangaroos selected him with their second pick, creating history.Having dislocated his foot at the end 2014, Daw had a delayed start to his campaign.Daw had a strong run at form at VFL level and ultimately earnt his spot back as a result, playing his first AFL game for the year in round 14 against Gold Coast.Given another opportunity to prove himself in Round 23, he impressed in the ruck, one-out against Ivan Maric in the absence of Todd Goldstein.Daw was delisted ahead of the 2015 National Draft, but the club committed to re-adding him to the list as a rookie in December. Majak will be presenting the end of month player awards and will talk a little bit about himself, a Q&A with our players and available for any photo or autographs.
