Majak Daw staked his claim for a recall to the North side with five goals in the VFL on Saturday.

In his best game of the year so far, Daw was named best-on-ground as Werribee went down to Port Melbourne by 13 points.

On the comeback trail from knee surgery, the key-forward/ruck has shown glimpses of form in the opening rounds, but a strong performance against one of the VFL's best sides may be the catalyst for a return to the seniors.

Rookie Tim McGenniss was also among the bests for the Tigers.
