MAJAK Daw has a habit of making the ridiculous look easy.

In the second quarter against Essendon on Saturday he snapped a brilliant goal after pushing opponent Michael Hartley out of the way next to the behind post.

And sometimes it can happen the other way around.

In the last minute of the match Robin Nahas gathered in the middle of the ground and passed to Daw, who was unmanned on the 50m line.

He turned and strolled towards goal, taking three bounces before lining up from 15m out under practically no pressure.

Daw finished the game with 14 disposals, five marks, five tackles and 2.2 in front of goal.

“I feel good. I’m playing good footy,” he said after the game.

“It’s hard to always know.

“It’s just being ready for my opportunity. There’s a lot of guys playing well in the VFL and we’re more of a mature group now and if Wellsy (Daniel Wells) doesn’t play or (Michael) Firrito doesn’t play, someone else comes in and takes their role.

“That’s where we’ve grown as a group — that anyone can come in and play a role for the team.”
