Riley Knight collected 18 disposals and slotted two goals after being dropped. 

Runners David Mackay (26 disposals) and Paul Seedsman (24) won plenty of the footy.

The Crows started well with six goals in the opening term to win, 16.5 (101) to 9.11 (65).

Bell, 26, is contracted until the end of 2018.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Freeman and Liam Dawson each booted five goals, while Matthew Hammelman added four of his own.

Recently re-signed forward Josh Schache slotted two goals among his five disposals.

State league affiliate: Northern Blues (VFL)
This weekend: Richmond v Northern Blues - Sunday, June 25, 12pm, Punt Road Oval 

It was a tough day for the Blues, who went down by a hefty 84 points.

Experienced duo Rhys Palmer and Simon White tried hard and were among the only positives for the club in an otherwise one-sided affair. 

The Blues registered just four goals for the match, with singles to forward Liam Sumner, draftee Pat Kerr, and rookies Andrew Gallucci and Matt Korcheck.

This weekend: Port Melbourne v Collingwood - Saturday, June 24, 2pm, North Port Oval

Tall forward Mason Cox bagged six goals in Collingwood's 37-point win against Port Melbourne at North Port Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Cox, 26, has played four AFL matches this season.

Struggling recruit Chris Mayne slotted five goals to also press his claims for a recall. 

The former Docker came to the club on a four-year contract as an unrestricted free agent but has played just three games in Nathan Buckley's side.

Big-bodied onballer Rupert Wills and athletic tall Jesse White emerged unscathed after coming back from calf and hamstring injuries respectively.

Defender Matthew Scharenberg responded to being dropped by being named among the best players.

This weekend: Essendon v Williamstown - Saturday, June 24, 12pm Windy Hill

Young midfielder Darcy Parish made a successful return from a calf injury, notching up 27 disposals and a goal in the Bombers' 15-point win against Williamstown at Windy Hill on Saturday afternoon.

Parish played the full game and impressed in his bid to return to the senior side.

"He was really influential. He played through the middle and a bit of time forward," coach Paul Corrigan told AFL.com.au.

"His pressure around the ball and his contest stuff was really good."

Dumped midfielder David Myers collected 24 disposals and booted a goal to stake his claim for an immediate recall.

"He was really good. Both him and Darce were really influential around the ball. He spent some time forward as well," Corrigan said.

Josh Begley's work rate in attack was rewarded with four goals, with his form over the past month helping press his case for a spot in John Worsfold's side.

The Bombers led at every break to seal the 15.7 (97) to 12.10 (82) victory.

This weekend: East Fremantle v Peel Thunder - Saturday, June 24, 2.15pm, East Fremantle Oval

Veteran midfielder Danyle Pearce didn't feature in the final quarter of Peel's 36-point win due to a calf injury.

The 31-year-old, who has played five games for the Dockers this season, had his left calf heavily strapped.

Defender Ethan Hughes (team-high 26 disposals, nine marks) controlled the play from half-back alongside omitted backman Sam Collins (15 disposals, eight marks).

Experienced defender Garrick Ibbotson featured among Peel's best courtesy of his 24 touches and six marks, while forward Matt Taberner (17 disposals) and Zac Dawson (15 disposals) kicked two goals apiece.

State league affiliate: Geelong (VFL)
This weekend: North Ballarat v Geelong - Sunday, June 25, 2pm, Eureka Stadium

In his second game back from a broken collarbone, draftee forward Timm House kicked four goals in the Cats' 49-point win.

House was recruited with pick No.68 in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft.

Onballer Jackson Thurlow was kept busy through the middle of the ground with 21 touches, while draftee ruckman Ryan Abbott had the advantage at the stoppages with 43 hit-outs and 22 disposals.

Second-year tall Wylie Buzza assisted Abbott in the ruck but also played a role in attack, accumulating 18 disposals, 14 hit-outs and kicking a goal.

State league affiliate: Gold Coast (NEAFL)
This weekend: Canberra v Gold Coast - Sunday, June 25, 12pm, UNSW Canberra Oval

Rookie Ryan Davis (30 disposals, two goals) and draftee Will Brodie (28 disposals, three goal) were also unstoppable, while big man Keegan Brooksby bagged five goals.

Veteran midfielder Michael Rischitelli played his first full game since overcoming a right knee reconstruction. 

The 31-year-old, who returned from the serious knee injury a fortnight ago before the bye, had 19 disposals, six marks and kicked a goal in the final term. 

State league affiliate: GWS Giants (NEAFL)
This weekend: Brisbane Lions v GWS Giants - Saturday, June 24, 12pm, South Pine Sports Complex

Forward Rory Lobb (groin) and draftee Will Setterfield (ankle) both returned from injury in the Giants' 96-point loss.

Lobb featured in half of the match and had 17 touches playing between the wing and half-back.

"It was a real positive that Rory Lobb got through his controlled game time after five weeks out with his groin," Giants coach Leon Cameron said after the win over the Brisbane Lions.

"There's no doubt he's going to put his hand up for next week, which gives us more flexibility to play 'Mummy' [Shane Mumford] forward."

Setterfield, who suffered a syndesmosis injury to his ankle in round three, returned to action with 21 possessions and six marks.

Defenders Jeremy Finlayson (26 disposals, one goal) and Harry Perryman (24 disposals, six marks) led the stats sheet for the Giants.

This weekend: Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - Saturday, June 24, 2.10pm, Box Hill City Oval

Maligned forward Tyrone Vickery kicked four goals in Box Hill's first loss of the season, going down by 26 points to the Casey Demons at Box Hill City Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Vickery, 27, was recruited from Richmond as a restricted free agent on a two-year contract but has played just six matches in the senior side this season. 

Brendan Whitecross, who was dropped from Alastair Clarkson's team ahead of round 14, picked up 29 disposals. 

James Cousins had 25 while Teia Miles (24) and Kade Stewart (23) also won the footy. 

The Demons booted five goals in the opening term before winning, 14.15 (99) to 11.7 (73).

This weekend: Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - Saturday, June 24, 2.10pm, Box Hill City Oval

Young forward Sam Weideman slotted six goals in an impressive display as the Casey Demons knocked off the previously undefeated Box Hill by 26 points at Box Hill City Oval on Saturday afternoon. 

Weideman made a hot start, booting four in the opening term. 

Coach Justin Plapp told AFL.com.au Weideman's marking was a highlight.

"He was able to kick some goals through a lot of his aerial contest work. He moved pretty freely. He was able to jump at the ball and give us some really honest contest forward of centre," Plapp said.

"He's been building over the last two or three weeks." 

He was drafted with pick No.9 in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft.

Jay Kennedy-Harris racked up 39 disposals, largely playing through the midfield and up forward.

It comes after he finished with 47 earlier this month against Coburg. 

"He was able to generate a lot of opportunities for himself through some pretty strong work rate, and used his speed at the right time," Plapp said.

"He was one of our really solid performers." 

Defender Mitch White's intercept marking and rebound helped his side while Dean Kent was tough around the contest in the Demons' 14.15 (99) to 11.7 (73) victory.

State league affiliate: Werribee (VFL)
This weekend: Footscray v Werribee - Saturday, June 24, 2pm, VU Whitten Oval

Defender Sam Wright made a successful comeback from an ankle/foot injury, featuring in each quarter of Werribee's 24-point loss.

It was the 26-year-old's first appearance since the JLT Community Series in March.

A Werribee spokesman told AFL.com.au on Sunday that Wright got through unscathed.

"He was pretty close to full game time which was good," the club official said.

"He got better as he went on and most importantly, he got through feeling good which was his main objective."

In a further positive, second-year speedster Corey Wagner returned from an ankle injury he sustained in round seven, albeit on managed game time, and played between the wing and half-forward.

Second-year half-back Mitch Hibberd (25 disposals) provided plenty of support down back, while ruckman Braydon Preuss (63 hit-outs, 18 possessions) was equally impressive.

This weekend: Richmond v Northern Blues - Sunday, June 25, 12pm, Punt Road Oval

Small defender Steve Morris came off the ground with a right hamstring injury, souring the Tigers' 84-point win. 

The 28-year-old pulled up sharply after chasing his opponent, Blues draftee Harrison Macreadie, on the wing and immediately fell to ground.

After being sidelined for six weeks with a shoulder injury, defender Nick Vlastuin made a successful comeback and kicked a goal.

Midfielder Anthony Miles (38 disposals, one goal) had the most possessions on the ground, while fellow ball-winner Jacob Townsend was also prominent with 27 disposals. 

Big man Ivan Maric (one goal) dominated the ruck battle, and Taylor Hunt performed well playing between wing and half-back.

Along with Hunt, Jake Batchelor and Mabior Chol kicked two goals apiece.

State league affiliate: Sandringham (VFL)
This weekend: Sandringham v Coburg - Saturday June 24, 2pm, Trevor Barker Beach Oval

Young forward Paddy McCartin was concussed on a tough day for Sandringham as it fell to the previously winless Coburg by 25 points at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday afternoon.

The first person drafted in 2014, McCartin was injured in the first quarter. 

Hard-running backman Daniel McKenzie was limited by nerve damage after being hit between his hip and coccyx and sat out the final term, while rookie defender Nick Coughlan suffered a hamstring injury.

Nathan Freeman picked up 28 disposals in his 14th consecutive game this year.

The former Magpie has previously been crueled by hamstring injuries while a hip complaint held him back in the pre-season.

"He got a lot of the footy. What we're looking for from Nathan is just the build. He's obviously starting to rack the possessions up, now we just need him to influence games more with ball in hand," Sandringham assistant coach Brendan Allen said.

Dumped midfielder Jack Steele racked up 36 disposals but he too lacked impact. 

Meanwhile, rookie tall Rowan Marshall was excellent.

"He's been thrown back as a rookie due to St Kilda being a little thin with their tall backs. He marked everything down there today and we actually had to throw him forward late to try to catch something," Allen said.

"He's going to be a good player. It's going to be a bit of a slow burn but if he keeps clunking them like that, he's going to be in the AFL before too long."

Coburg showed plenty of fight to run out winners, 13.10 (88) to 8.15 (63).

This weekend: Sydney Uni v Sydney - Friday, June 23, 4.10pm, Sydney Cricket Ground

Returning veteran Jarrad McVeigh collected 19 disposals and slotted two goals in his comeback from a calf strain against Sydney University at the SCG on Friday.

"He got through the allotted time that he was supposed to play and I think he's pulled up OK. He certainly looked OK after the game," senior AFL coach John Longmire said on Friday.

"I didn't get a chance to talk to him but he seemed happy."

The 32-year-old has lined up in just two AFL games this season.

Meanwhile, Jordan Dawson played well in the 42-point win, picking up 23 disposals to be his side's leading ball-winner. He also booted two goals.

Sydney ran away with the game after quarter-time to post the win, 15.16 (106) to 9.10 (64).

After gathering a team-high 28 touches last week, midfielder Chris Masten continued to push for senior selection by collecting a game-high 33 disposals in the 26-point loss.

It was Masten's third straight WAFL appearance since being dropped following the loss to Greater Western Sydney in round 10.

Inside midfielder Luke Partington also had an influence through the middle with 28 possessions and four goals.

Ruckman Scott Lycett took another encouraging step forward, accumulating 36 hit-outs, 21 disposals and five marks in his third game back from shoulder surgery, while his counterpart Jonathan Giles had 31 hit-outs and kicked a goal.

Defender Sharrod Wellingham, who was overlooked to the replace the injured Jackson Nelson (hamstring), had 21 touches and laid four tackles.
