The first-year star quick turned one of many sport’s finest ball customers and a prolific ball-winner largely throughout half-back.
Emerging Fremantle key ahead Jye Amiss completed fourth after turning into the primary Dockers key ahead Matthew Pavlich to kick 40 objectives in a season.
Sheezel and fellow first-round choose George Wardlaw turned the intense lights in an in any other case dim yr for the Kangaroos, who endured a three-win season to narrowly keep away from the picket spoon.
The 18-year-old had 34 disposals to win a nomination after spherical one in opposition to West Coast.
“It was a crazy start, first of all I didn’t really expect to play at half-back, started there and it was a pretty good day,” he mentioned.
“We got the win and I was pretty happy with my performance as well.”
He is the primary participant to win the award for North Melbourne since Byron Pickett.

Brisbane defender Darcy Wilmot completed fifth.
