North Melbourne ruck Tristan Xerri has polled the maximum 10 votes from the coaches in just his second game since returning from an ankle syndesmosis injury.

The 24-year-old was among the highest-rated players in the Kangaroos' 53-point win over Williamstown, with 29 disposals, 11 clearances and 31 hitouts.

It has instantly reignited his selection prospects, Xerri having been preferred to club champion Todd Goldstein in the opening round.

Cooper Harvey was the next-highest rated on the ground with eight votes for his 20 disposals, nine marks and five goals.

The coaches continued to strike an accord with former Hawthorn utility Daniel Howe awarded six votes for his 32 disposals, seven tackles and six clearances.

Charlie Lazzaro also won two votes having accumulated 25 disposals, five tackles and a goal.
