Hugh Greenwood was at his bullocking best against Collingwood

Forward Nick Larkey has moved up the North Melbourne leaderboard in the AFLCA Champion Player of the Year Award after Sunday's game against Collingwood.

Larkey kicked five goals from 13 disposals and eight marks, earning five votes from the coaches for his performance in the 35-point loss.

Hard-nosed midfielder Hugh Greenwood was rewarded with one vote for a typically rugged performance on the ball. He won 10 clearances against the ladder leaders along with 25 touches and 11 tackles.

No.3 draft pick Will Phillips was perhaps unlucky to miss out on the votes, after racking up a career-best 29 disposals and five clearances. 

Collingwood's Jordan De Goey was voted best afield by both North Melbourne interim coach Brett Ratten and Magpies coach Craig McRae, receiving 10 votes, while brothers Nick and Josh Daicos polled five votes each.
