A disappointing performance by North Melbourne at the SCG was reflected in the coaches votes by Brad Scott and John Longmire.

Only two votes were awarded to Roos' players; one each to Jack Ziebell and Scott Thompson.

Ziebell's 22 touches and four tackles was enough for his vote, while Thompson's excellent work down back dealing with wave after wave of Sydney attacks was also rated well. He picked up 21 touches, eight marks and five tackles.

It is the second time Ziebell and Thompson have polled votes in a game this season. Ziebell was awarded eight against Geelong in Round 3, while Thompson had one against GWS in Round 2.
