Defenders Ben McKay and Jack Ziebell were two of five players in Sunday's clash with St Kilda to poll AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award votes.
On a night that saw both sides struggle to kick majors, key back McKay was ever-present for the Kangaroos, collecting 15 disposals, 10 marks and 10 intercepts to earn seven votes.
The 25-year-old missed the first four rounds of 2023, but is now working his way back to the type of form that saw him gain League-wide praise over the past two years.
North Melbourne and St Kilda senior coaches Alastair Clarkson and Ross Lyon awarded veteran Ziebell with three votes after his impressive individual performance.
The former club captain posted 36 disposals, 18 marks and nine rebound 50s in the 30-point loss, all of which were game-highs.
Callum Wilkie received 10 votes for the visitors, while Brad Hill and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera were awarded five apiece.
