While admitting Kangaroos players had been disappointed in Daw's recent behavior that led to his indefinite suspension from the club, midfielder Adams said they harbored no grudges against the rookie.
"Although it's disappointing, the boys still back him 100 per cent and hopefully he'll be back at the club pretty soon," Adams said on Thursday at AFL House.
"It's sort of water under the bridge. He came back for the (team) photo, he'd only been away a week or two, and none of the boys have got any ill feelings towards him or anything like that.
"He's one of our teammates and one of our mates."
Last Wednesday, Daw was banished to North's VFL affiliate Werribee for breaching club rehabilitation protocols and subsequently lying to coach Brad Scott about a night out. However, Daw is permitted to attend Aegis Park to continue his rehabilitation on a knee injury.
Adams said the media had treated Daw 'like a rock star' since he became the first Sudanese-born player listed by an AFL club in the rookie draft at the end of 2009, but he had handled the attention well.
"There's always going to be huge media wherever Majak goes," Adams said.
"I think he's handled that really well over the first couple of years of his career... I think wherever 'Maj' goes he has that rock star aura about him and he's going to get that media attention."
Adams said Daw now had to focus on rehabilitating his knee so that he was ready to play when he was eventually welcomed back to North.
While unsure when Daw would return, Adams said he would probably have been fit to play in the later rounds of the NAB Cup if not suspended.
In two seasons on North's rookie list, Daw has yet to play senior game.
Speaking at the press conference to promote North's round one NAB Cup fixture against Hawthorn and Richmond on Friday night at Etihad Stadium, Adams also said Robbie Tarrant's reported move into attack was the only major positional change the Kangaroos would unveil in the pre-season competition.
Having been drafted as a key forward from the Bendigo Pioneers in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft, Tarrant has played nine AFL games in his past two seasons, all of them into defence.
"It was just more for his development to go down back and see how the good forwards play," Adams said.
"He has learnt a lot through that and he's got a lot fitter and stronger this year so hopefully he can go down there and kick some goals for us."
Adam also forecast Hamish McIntosh would spend more time on North's forward line as he teamed up again with Todd Goldstein in the ruck following his injury-ravaged 2011 season, while key-position player Lachie Hansen would continue to swing between attack and defence.
Of the three North players who will play at senior level for the first time this Friday night - rookie midfielder Sam Gibson, key defender Cameron Delaney and rookie defender Brad Mangan - Adams suggested former Box Hill captain Gibson, 25, was the most likely to press for a round one home and away debut.
"You can see through his professionalism and the way that he goes about his footy that he's going to put a lot of pressure on the young mids coming through," Adams said of Gibson.
