After signing a three year deal last September, Majak Daw is yet to make his mark on season 2017.

Daw played in North’s Round 2 match against Geelong this year, but hasn’t been seen since.

A string of minor injuries in the first half of the year has prevented him from gathering any momentum, until now.

"That's been the biggest thing with me ... it's been spoken about, my potential, but I haven't really played many games," Daw said.

"It's not the best number (his senior games), but it's really been out of my control.

"I'm still pretty optimistic, I have two years left on my contract and hopefully I can really make something of my career.

"I just need to train, get my injuries right."

The 26-year-old has played just 26 career games, and knows it should be more, so he’s looking to add to the tally and hopefully that process begins this week.

Three goals in the VFL last weekend for Werribee could be the sort of performance Brad Scott and the match committee were after.

"I think Brad, he backs me in, he wants to play me," Daw said.

"I just have to hold my end of the bargain as much as I can."

"It's been frustrating that I haven't been able to complete training sessions and haven't been able put my hand up for selection," he said.

"But now I can put my hand up to play AFL footy."
