Andrew Swallow was the only North Melbourne player to poll a vote from the coaches on Friday night.

Receiving a single vote for his performance, Swallow tried in vain to lift his side over the line against Carlton.

He led North in disposals (25), clearances (10) and centre clearances (3), while also registering six tackles and four inside 50's.

With an average of almost 24 possessions a game over the last month, the captain has shown no ill effects of his Achilles injury suffered late last year.
