Shock omission Bryce Gibbs had 28 disposals, six marks and six clearances in Adelaide's 23-point win over the Eagles. The veteran midfielder was dropped from the Crows' AFL side despite having 27 touches against Geelong in round three.

Hugh Greenwood is banging the door down for his first senior game of the season, finishing with 33 touches, 10 clearances and two goals.

Rookie midfielder Patrick Wilson topped the Crows' disposal count with 42 and also took 11 marks.

This weekend: Brisbane v GWS Giants - Saturday, April 13, 11am, Burpengary

Forward Ben Keays had a day out in Brisbane's 95-point demolition of Greater Western Sydney, kicking six goals to go with his 15 disposals.

Keays, in his fourth season, is yet to play an AFL game this year after just two last year.

Corey Lyons led allcomers with 29 disposals (19 of which were kicks), six marks and a goal.

The omitted Ryan Bastinac – who last year was delisted then subsequently signed as a rookie – responded well with 27 disposals and seven marks.

The versatile Tom Cutler would be ruing several shots on goal, finishing with 1.3 from his 23 touches, while second-year key forward Toby Woller was very busy with 25 and 11 marks.

A roving goal from Ben Keays and we have the early jump on the Giants at Burpengary.

Jack Silvagni was one of the Blues' best players with 19 disposals and 2.3.

Matthew Kreuzer had his hands full against three Geelong ruckmen, but performed admirably on his way to 16 disposals, one goal and 26 hit-outs.

First-round draft choice Liam Stocker finished with 15 touches.

Alex Fasolo injured his back in the opening quarter of the game and took no further part in the contest.

State league affiliate: Collingwood (VFL)

This weekend: Collingwood v Footscray - Friday, April 12 4.30pm, Olympic Park Oval

It was a disappointing result, but despite a heavy 72-point loss to Footscray, Collingwood would be pleased by the return of Daniel Wells and Brayden Sier.

Wells has missed the past 10 months with a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, but the classy midfielder slotted in well, finishing with 23 disposals, 11 marks and a goal.

Sier – who AFL coach Nathan Buckley said earlier this week had been troubled by a few niggles – had 28 touches and six tackles.

Second-year rookie Flynn Appleby was named his side's best, the defender having 20 touches and six marks, while big man Ben Reid followed up his three-goal effort last week with another two.

There were a few injury concerns for the Pies, with Jack Madgen sidelined in the opening minutes with concussion, and Tyler Brown missing the second half with a shoulder issue.

A tough day overall for the Pies, but there were positive signs in the form of returning stars performing well.

Cameron Guthrie racked up 25 touches in his first game for the season on return from a calf complaint and will be in the frame to play against Hawthorn on Easter Monday.

James Parsons collected 23 disposals of his own to continue his strong form to begin the VFL season and does not appear to be far away from a recall.

Wylie Buzza presented strongly, kicking 1.2 from 18 disposals, to keep his name at the forefront of the selectors' minds.

Oscar Brownless, the son of champion cat Billy, was named the Cats' best player.

This weekend: Sandringham v Box Hill Hawks - Sunday, April 14, 11.50am, Marvel Stadium

With James Frawley suffering a hamstring injury at AFL level, Kaiden Brand was strong in defence with 22 disposals and could come into the selection equation for Easter Monday against the Cats.

Conor Glass was also among Box Hill's best, gathering 23 disposals. However, he came from the field late with what appeared to be a minor knee injury.

Tim O'Brien played at either end of the ground and finished with 20 disposals and two goals.

State league affiliate: Casey Demons (VFL)

This weekend: Casey Demons v North Melbourne - Saturday, April 13, 2pm, Casey Fields

Rookie midfielder Kyron Hayden had only eight touches but laid eight tackles, while key forward Nick Larkey kicked three goals from his eight disposals.

A strong finish with five straight goals, but we left it too late.

Nick Hind had a day out against the Box Hill Hawks, racking up 41 disposals as he gets nearer a senior debut. His speed and ability to break the game open was a feature and his weight of performances are getting difficult to ignore.

Luke Dunstan was a consistent performer through the midfield with 37 touches.

Billy Longer had 39 hit-outs opposed to Marc Pittonet's 36, while veteran Saint David Armitage had 24.
