NORTH Melbourne supporters are encouraged to vote for youngster Ed Lower, who is in the running for the AFL mark of the year.

Lower took a strong contested grab in the fourth quarter of Saturday night's elimination final against the Sydney Swans – sandwiched between defenders Ted Richards and Tadhg Kennelly when a long ball was sent inside 50.

The 21-year-old is in contention with Collingwood pair Dale Thomas and Chris Dawes, with vision of each mark and voting available here.

Voting closes at midnight on Sunday.
