[4][9] His career at North Melbourne began with playing for VFL club Werribee, where he continued to develop his game.

He made his first appearance for North Melbourne in a pre-season NAB cup match against the Western Bulldogs on 20 February 2011.

[3] In April 2011, playing for Werribee, Daw kicked an impressive running goal from beyond 50 m out,[10] prompting calls for his inclusion to the senior team.

[citation needed] On 4 June 2011, Majak Daw was racially abused by a Port Melbourne Football Club supporter while he was playing for the Werribee Tigers in the VFL.

[13] The man has since been banned from all VFL games until he completes an anti-racism workshop and formally apologises to Daw for the slur.

When tall forward Robbie Tarrant went down with a thigh injury, Daw was brought in to replace him and make his debut in Round 4 against the Brisbane Lions.

However, his debut ended on a sour note when he collided with teammate Ben Cunnington and suffered a concussion before quarter time, and he took no further part in the game.

In Round 7 against the Western Bulldogs, Majak had a breakout performance in just his fourth career game, kicking a game-high 6 goals in North's 54-point win.

Daw struggled with injury during his time at Melbourne and did not play a senior game for them before announcing his retirement in June 2022.

[22] On 1 July 2014, Daw was charged with three counts of rape relating to an alleged sexual assault incident in Altona North in 2007.
