Season in review

Daw had an interrupted pre-season, recovering from a knee injury which curtailed his 2013 campaign.

However, his early season games for Werribee were promising and earned him a North Melbourne call-up for the trip west to face Fremantle in Round 6. The key-position forward was promising in patches, kicking a goal and providing ruck relief for Todd Goldstein in the Kangaroos’ win.

Five consecutive games in the side yielded three wins and two losses, but a quiet game against Richmond in Round 12 led to Daw being substituted at half-time and a stint in the VFL.

Further strong performances for Werribee and praise from its coach John Lamont led to a recall for two more senior games in Round 18 and 19, but Daw was largely ineffective in both losses. Ben Brown effectively took his spot in the side from there and into the finals.

It was playing for Werribee where Daw suffered what looked to be a horrific injury. It looked like he would be sidelined for 12 months, but luckily he escaped the most serious diagnosis.

Dodging surgery, Daw should return to training in January after recovering from a dislocated foot.

In the news

March 20 – A new Daw-n – NMFC.com.au

Majak Daw is used to being in the spotlight, but when he turned up to the recently launched ‘Majak’s First Kick’ academy, he was somewhat overshadowed by another very special guest.

May 28 – Petrie defends Daw – NMFC.com.au

“It has been unfair. A 10-gamer with not much of a footy background until he almost started playing AFL football… if we’re blaming Majak for our situation it’s ludicrous.” – Drew Petrie

June 6 – Demetriou v Majak – NMFC.com.au

Between Daw and Demetriou, there are a lot of similarities. Both are from multicultural backgrounds and both have seen the ugly side of racism. Demetriou though, experienced it through the eyes of others.
