For the first time in almost a year, North has taken every coaches vote from a game.
In all, seven Kangaroos polled, led by Jarrad Waite’s perfect 10. The veteran kicked six goals, three of which came in the first quarter rout.
Ben Cunnington responded perfectly to his quiet game against the Suns, collecting a team-high 29 disposals to go with a career-high 13 clearances.
Sam Gibson’s excellent tagging job on Rory Sloane earned the Roo his first three votes of the season.
Gibson is just four matches away from equalling Keith Greig’s club record of 119 consecutive matches.
Scott Thompson polled for the second consecutive week; a string of intercept possessions showing the defender is approaching his best form once again.
Luke McDonald (three votes), Kayne Turner (two votes) and Mason Wood (one vote) all polled for the first time in 2017.
