For Box Hill, Jai Serong (22 disposals) had enough of it while former Magpie Callum Brown (two goals, 33 disposals) was big in defeat.
The day’s second game took place in Ipswich with Brisbane going down 71-157 to Gold Coast.
Alex Sexton (31 disposals), Bodhi Uwland (one goal, 22 disposals), Alex Davies (26 disposals), Jy Farrar (five goals) and Darcy Macpherson (26 disposals) all played well to try and push back into the senior side.

For the Lions veteran on-baller Jarryd Lyons (one goal, 34 disposals, 13 tackles, eight clearances) had a mammoth game without many helpers apart from Jaxon Prior (32 disposals) and James Tunstill (25 disposals).
The action then moved to GMHBA Stadium where Geelong thrashed Frankston 113-49.
The Cats dominated early and Ted Clohesy (one goal, 27 disposals), Lawson Humphries (27 disposals), Oisin Mullin (21 disposals) and Shaun Mannagh (four goals) would all be really happy with their performances.
Bread and butter for Shaun Mannagh 🥖

Next up Sandringham knocked off North Melbourne 99-96 at Trevor Barker Beach Oval.
The Zebras led for most of the day but were made to work hard for it late by a gallant North side that kicked two behinds late while searching for a match-winner.
Young defender Arie Schoenmaker (27 disposals) had plenty of it for the winners while Hunter Clark was quiet as he pushes to return from his calf but kicked a goal. Zak Jones finished with 26 touches while Paddy Dow kicked a major to go with his 18 disposals.
Elite work in the pocket by Hunter Clark!
