Six Collingwood players have polled AFL coaches’ votes after impressing in the Magpies’ 54-point victory over North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.
Midfielders Taylor Adams, Adam Treloar, Steele Sidebottom, Jack Crisp, Jordan De Goey and defender Tom Langdon were among the vote getters for the Pies.
The six players combined for 173 of the team’s 447 disposals against the Kangaroos, and were dynamic in the scrappy affair between the two teams.
Adams, who polled nine of the maximum 10 votes from the coaches – led the way with 30 touches, eight clearances, nine tackles and two goals.
The 23-year-old is having a career best season in his fourth season with the Magpies, averaging 30 disposals, six tackles and six clearances a game.
Joining Adams in Collingwood's engine room was Treloar, who polled eight votes from Nathan Buckley and Brad Scott with 34 disposals, five inside 50s and one goal.
In Scott Pendlebury’s absence, Sidebottom stepped in as captain, and enjoyed another of his trademark performances with 26 touches and six marks.
The 26-year-old received four votes from the two coaches.
Langdon (29 possessions, eight marks), Crisp (27 disposals, 10 marks) and De Goey (27 disposals, 10 marks, one goal) roundeout the voting for the Magpies.
North Melbourne captain Jack Ziebell was his side’s lone vote getter, after starring for the Kangaroos with 22 disposals and five goals.
