North Melbourne’s strong defensive showing against Geelong has been recognised by Chris Scott and David Noble, with two North defenders getting their names amongst the coaches votes for Round 20.
Aaron Hall was awarded four votes for his performance on the half back flank, with the number 43 having no trouble finding the football.
Hall finished with a game-high 36 disposals and 747 metres gained at 86.3 per cent efficiency.
His tally of 36 touches was 7 clear of next best, Zach Guthrie and Jy Simpkin, as Hall continued his fine run of form.
Ben McKay was also recognised for his stellar job on Coleman Medal hopeful Tom Hawkins, polling two votes.
The Geelong forward and reigning Coleman Medallist only kicked one goal for the game, a tough set shot from the right forward pocket.
Registering 13 disposals, McKay ran at an exceptional 92.3 per cent efficiency, while also completing solid defensive work with 6 intercepts.
