AFTER a best on ground performance in Round 5, Northern Knights captain Zak Johnson<\/a> has joined Damon Hollow<\/a> atop the Rookie Me Central Medal leaderboard. The prolific midfielder played in each third of the ground and kicked two goals from 27 disposals in his side’s three-point win on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aforementioned pair of likely Vic Metro teammates are now clear in equal-first place on eight votes apiece, with recent National Academy representative Tobie Travaglia<\/a> trailing in second on six. The trio are the only players to have polled across three games this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pack of seven players are jostling for position on the final podium spot, all with five votes to their names. Among them is Tasmania Devils midfielder-forward Lenny Douglas<\/a>. The explosive talent notched three votes this week after posting 23 disposals and four goals as the Devils won big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, Swans Academy pair Nicholas Andreacchio<\/a> and Ned Hawkins<\/a> stuffed the stats sheet in Sydney’s comprehensive win over Eastern Ranges. Both players topped the disposal count for the round with 37 and 36 respectively, polling votes alongside Lachlan Carmichael<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suns Academy star Zeke Uwland<\/a> also had a massive game with 25 disposals and six goals, but it was not enough to usurp Bailey McKenzie<\/a> for Player of the Week honours. The Sandringham Dragons forward dined out against GWS with 23 disposals, 13 marks and seven goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all five Northern Academies in action over the weekend, there were also plenty of new names in the votes. Among them, Giants Academy ruck Logan Smith<\/a> took his tally to four, Lions midfielder Daniel Annable<\/a> was prolific for two votes, and Taj Murray<\/a> got the NT on the board with one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
