The 2013 Syd Barker Medalist is now in fourth place amongst his Kangaroos’ team-mates, five behind Levi Greenwood who had another outstanding game.

Greenwood amassed 30 possessions for the fifth time this season, also grabbing 5 clearances and booting 2 important goals throughout the day.

It’s been a remarkable rise to prominence for the number 24, who has admitted he was fighting for his career this season. 14 rounds in, he’s one of the favourites for best and fairest honours.

Brent Harvey is another having a big year and a 28-disposal haul was enough to move him to equal 10th in the competition voting.

The 36-year-old polled five votes on the day, and now sits level with Nathan Jones (Melbourne) and Tom Liberatore (Western Bulldogs). He’s stretched his lead to eight at North.

Drew Petrie had his second strong game in three weeks, pulling down 11 marks and receiving one vote for his efforts.
