Midfielders Finlay Macrae and Trent Bianco continue to push their case for a senior recall after dominant displays for Collingwood in its 52-point romp over Port Melbourne on Saturday.

Macrae racked up 25 touches and kicked two goals to go along with his seven clearances, backing up his 30-disposal effort in round one.

Meanwhile, Bianco finished with 29 disposals, seven tackles and three clearances. The 22-year-old featured in 10 games in the Pies' breakout season last year, but hasn't been able to earn a spot in Craig McRae's top-tier side in 2023.

Jack Ginnivan was kept relatively quiet in his return from suspension, kicking just the one goal from his 10 disposals.

Ed Allan also had a prominent showing at the lower level and may soon be in line for a debut, amassing 24 disposals, six marks and kicking a goal.

Reef McInnes led the way up forward with three goals, while Supplementary Selection Period signing Oscar Steene was impressive in the ruck with 17 hitouts to go with his one goal.

Rookie Patrick Voss kicked four goals in the Bombers’ 37-point loss to Sandringham on Sunday and will doubtless put himself into some conversations as the senior side looks for key forward presence in the absence of Peter Wright.

Fellow rookie Rhett Montgomerie was also impressive with 21 disposals and 12 marks.

Will Snelling put everything on the line, including his body, racking up 10 tackles to go with 18 disposals.

Lewis Hayes was the next busiest of the senior-listed Dons with a relatively quiet 13 disposals, with Alastair Lord just behind him with 12.

Tex Wanganeen kicked one goal from limited opportunities.

Essendon’s best on the day was former Cat Quinton Narkle who is still hoping to get back into the AFL after being trialled by Richmond in the pre-season.

Narkle finished with 24 disposals, 10 tackles, nine clearances and a goal in a dominant performance that is sure to catch the eye of recruiters ahead of the mid-season draft.

While he wasn’t the biggest ballwinner on the ground, Jake Kolodjashnij was the best story out of the Cats’ 107-point thrashing at the hands of Gold Coast on Sunday.

It was premiership defender’s first hit out of the season and he gathered 12 disposals in limited minutes, which will be pleasing for Chris Scott as he tries to get his best 22 back on the park.

Brandon Parfitt was the busiest of Geelong’s senior-listed players, finishing with 22 touches and seven tackles as he too tries to get back into the AFL side.

Young ruckman Shannon Neale kicked two goals as did rookie midfielder Ted Clohesy, while fellow rookies Oliver Dempsey (19 disposals, seven marks, one goal) and Oscar Riccardi (one goal from nine disposals) also hit the scoreboard.

Out-of-favour big men Sam Day and Chris Burgess got involved in the Suns’ feeding frenzy against the Cats, each kicking five goals in the 107-point win on Sunday.

However, last year’s goalkicking find Mabior Chol didn’t kick a major and spent time in the ruck.

The majority of the tap work was done by yet-to-debut ruckman Ned Moyle who enjoyed a day out. Moyle finished a busy day with 21 disposals, 37 hitouts, nine clearances and a goal as he serves his apprenticeship behind Jarrod Witts.

Brayden Fiorini also got plenty of the ball and kicked three goals to go with 28 disposals and seven clearances, while Rory Atkins slotted two majors from 27 touches.

After being a somewhat surprising omission from the senior side Charlie Constable grabbed 30 disposals against his old club, former Docker Connor Blakely had 26 and Jeremy Sharp kicked two goals from 23 touches.

First round draftee Bailey Humphrey kicked a goal from 19 disposals and five clearances, 2022 SSP pick James Tsitas also slotted a goal from 16 touches and former Hawthorn and North Melbourne midfielder Jed Anderson had 13 disposals.

A senior debut may not be too far away for 2021 draft pick Josh Fahey after the midfielder gathered a whopping 40 disposals and 10 marks in the Giants’ 39-point win over the Blues on Saturday.

Injury cut short Fahey’s debut season last year but the club recently signed him to a two-year contract extension, suggesting he is well and truly in future plans. 

At the other end of the career path, former AFL skipper Phil Davis got through the game intact and picked up 16 disposals and seven marks along the way.

All eyes were on Aaron Cadman after a quiet VFL debut last week, the 2022 No.1 draft pick stepping up with three goals from 10 touches against the Blues.

Max Gruzewski, 18, also impressed up forward, grabbing nine marks and kicking four goals, while Wade Derksen slotted two majors.

After two years playing in the Giants’ VFL team Cameron Fleeton is another waiting for an AFL debut, the 20-year-old doing himself no harm with 21 disposals and a match-high 13 marks.

Big man Kieren Briggs was strong in the ruck with 28 hitouts and six clearances among his 16 disposals.

The also-dropped Tom McDonald was strong up the other end of the ground with two goals from 20 touches and 11 marks, but the bulk of the scoring was off the boot of 2022 first round draftee Matt Jefferson, last year’s No.15 selection slotting four goals.

Blake Howes pulled in 16 marks to go with 33 disposals while former Saint Luke Dunstan had 30 touches and six clearances.

Oliver Sestan kicked two goals and fellow rookie Deakyn Smith had 17 disposals and eight marks.

After being a surprise omission from Port’s AFL side Mitch Georgiades wanted to impress senior selectors, but while his SANFL outing against the Crows was reasonably busy it may not be enough to get an instant recall.

Georgiades finished with 14 disposals and one goal in the 78-point loss on Saturday afternoon and will need to wait to see where he’s playing next week.

Jase Burgoyne was one of Port’s best in the disappointing loss picking up 18 touches, while Josh Sinn was also good with 19 disposals and seven tackles as he chases a second game at the highest level.

Rookie duo Dylan Williams (22 disposals - 21 of them kicks, and 11 rebound 50s) and Trent Dumont ( 19 and seven tackles) got plenty of the ball, but Brynn Teakle was quiet with just seven touches.
