Cunnington's 98-point effort was the second best of any North player and he needs a score of just 31 against the Bulldogs to see another significant price rise. His value has already gone up more than $90,000 in 2012 and his average point tally is up by 30.
Ruckman Hamish McIntosh has been highlighted several times this year as a Dream Team must, and his 96-point game keeps him locked in second place among the league's highest-scoring rucks.
Andrew Swallow has been North's most consistent performer so far this year averaging 98.7 points and even more impressively, he's had just one tally below 90. His 126 topped the list in the loss to the Eagles.
At the other end of the price scale, Sam Wright registered one of the best scores of his career with 90. The number 19 had a slow start to the season but could be on the improve with more games under his belt. It must be said that he sits among the mid-priced forwards, an area selectors often look to avoid.
Traditionally pulling big numbers against the Bulldogs (avg. 97.69), Brent Harvey could be on the radar of coaches following a price drop of more than $30,000. He hasn't scored above 80 in the past three weeks, but will be desperate to turn his form around.
All eyes will be on Jack Ziebell to see if he can replicate his 42-disposals last time North beat the Bulldogs, and he'll need a big game to avoid another drop in price. Ziebell's break-even for the round is 109, a figure he's reached once in four games.
Daniel Wells will also need a big game on Sunday to keep his value intact, needing 126 to stay above the $400,000 mark.
