Essendon forward responds to axing, delisted Blue Silvagni shines ... (SEN)

Saturday's VFL action saw many players staking their claim for an AFL recall in a largely one-sided affair between the Cats and Bombers at GMHBA Stadium.

On the losing side, Kaine Baldwin (three goals, 14 disposals) responded excellently to his Round 1 axing and will press his case for an immediate recall. Jy Farrar (24 disposals, 10 marks), Oleg Markov (23 disposals), Elijah Hollands (20 disposals) and Josh Corbett (five goals) have been instrumental as the club's VFL side look to back up the strong AFL form in Round 1. For the Cats, small forward Gryan Miers (two goals, 18 disposals), midfielder Quinton Narkle (25 disposals), pick 25 in the 2021 draft Mitchell Knevitt (21 disposals, seven tackles) and rookie forward Ollie Dempsey (three goals, 15 disposals) all impressed in the 28-point victory.

Trio of AFL listed Swans combine for 106 disposals in VFL win ... (SEN)

The Swans beat the Western Bulldogs while Carlton triumphed over Brisbane in Friday night VFL action.

Dow has been earmarked to play AFL early in the season in Michael Voss’ reign and did his hopes no harm with 33 disposals and an impressive goal in the third quarter. Nine of the last ten goals saw them run out comprehensive winners. Meanwhile, in Carlton’s 42-point win over Brisbane, Jack Newnes played his second VFL game in a row to record 30 disposals and a goal in a hard-running role.

VFL match report: Blues kick off season with comfortable win (Carlton Football Club)

THE CARLTON Reserves have kicked their season off with a comfortable 42-point win at IKON Park. Prevailing over the Brisbane Lions, the Blues led from the ...

On his Carlton debut, one of the Blues’ key performers opened the account for the team in the final term: with his 29th disposals, Hayes produced his second goal. The former Bulldog will bring AFL experience and plenty of know-how to the Blues this season. It started with the work in the middle from Alex Mirkov, with Dow using his speed and power to full effect to surge the Blues out of the middle. The Blues put the foot down in the third term, breaking away from the Lions and putting a clear gap on the scoreboard. The scrappy contest which emerged at the end of the first term continued into the second quarter, with the Lions unable to convert their narrow ascendancy into scoreboard pressure. It was a vastly different affair to the last one between these two sides in the early rounds of last season, which saw the Blues pile on 12 first-quarter goals.
