Our Inside Football experts take a look at the individual performances of each player...
NORTH MELBOURNE – 10.12 (72)
Jed ANDERSON - 1
Hardly sighted all night.
Shaun ATLEY - 4
Had a few bursts to run the ball inside 50 but only sporadic.
Ben BROWN - 2
Suffered from irregular and poor delivery and chances were minimal. Not his fault.
Ryan CLARKE - 4
Couple of goals and wasn't the worst, but didn't have a big say.
Ben CUNNINGTON - 6
Of 13 disposals to half time only one was a kick. Finished with 32 touches, but didn't gain enough meterage.
Trent DUMONT - 5
Honest performance without doing great deal of damage.
Taylor GARNER - 3
Could have worked harder and was invisible in first half.
Sam GIBSON - 6
Initial match up was on Newnes and both worked hard all night. Kept winning the ball.
Todd GOLDSTEIN - 7
Controlled ruck duels and also won the ball around the ground.
Lachie HANSEN - 4
Matched up on Membrey and lowered his colours overall.
Shaun HIGGINS - 5
Ran to space and looked a menace at times, but didn't cap it off.
Nathan HROVAT - 5
Slow start but had a much better second half and did his bit in the last hour.
Luke MCDONALD - 6
One of few Roos who could hold his head up in first half and then tapered off later on.
Declan MOUNTFORD - 6
Kid was given big role to tag Jack Steven , but did a spirited job and showed plenty. One to watch.
Aaron MULLETT - 5
Ok job without being a standout . One big torp kickout was memorable.
Robbie TARRANT - 6
Did a solid job on Riewoldt and at the end of the night both had run to a standstill.
Scott THOMPSON - 6
Bruce ran hard and made Thompson use every drop in his tank. Stuck to task as ever.
Kayne TURNER - 3
Didn't do enough apart from single goal.
Jarrad WAITE - 3
Never given a chance by the service of the ball and ended night copping heavy knock in last minute.
Marley WILLIAMS - 6
Worked hard and was always running in defence and had a brief go up forward.
Mason WOOD - 3
Failed to make a significant impact.
Jack ZIEBELL - 6
Tried to lift his side but his kicking was below normal standard and he strove in vain.
ST KILDA – 12.17 (89)
Blake ACRES - 5
OK but wasn't able to cut through often enough.
Jack BILLINGS - 5
Started in full flight. Kicked two goals and two more were disallowed to end with 2.4.
Nathan BROWN - 4
On his namesake Ben Brown and stuck to task but North made it easier for him.
Josh BRUCE - 5
Stats weren't big but covered plenty of kms and made contests. Kicked booming goal.
Jake CARLISLE - 5
Stood tall when North mounted a surge in third quarter. Reasonable game on Waite.
Luke DUNSTAN - 4
In and out of side . Did a few things but needs to do more to hold spot.
Jarryn GEARY - 7
Excellent in defence from start to finish and showed the way.
Sam GILBERT - 6
Started brilliantly down back and apart from a couple of wild kicks was effective overall.
Jade GRESHAM - 6
Class often showed in a game which never rose above the mundane.
Billy LONGER - 4
Never gave up but Goldstein was far more effective in all departments of the ruck duel.
Jack LONIE - 5
Did some very clever things at times and ran hard. Still trying to cement a place.
Tim MEMBREY - 4
Improved performance overall after looking close to demotion and two goals will keep his place.
Leigh MONTAGNA - 6
Won 28 touches and did his bit in defence.
Jack NEWNES - 7
Only Roiss was a better performed Saint and he continued a good year.
Nick RIEWOLDT - 5
Looked rusty early but got himself into the game in the second term against difficult foe in Tarrant.
Dylan ROBERTON - 6
Returned to some form after a below par couple of weeks in defence.
Sebastian ROSS - 8
Clearly best afield with 32 touches.
Jack SINCLAIR - 5
Really big second quarter was a highlight.The sort of productivity he needs.
Jack STEVEN - 4
Irritated by Mountford's tagging early , but back to back goals in second term broke shackles briefly.
Koby STEVENS - 4
Kept copping hard knocks but battled his way through.
Jimmy WEBSTER - 4
OK with some efforts but not a big night.
Maverick WELLER - 5
Still working to get back to his best but this game was an improvement.
