It was a big week in state leagues around the country, with returns from injury, clubs teaming up and youngsters starring.
Here are our takeaways from your clubâs performances in the VFL, WAFL and SANFL.
Young Pie pressing for debut
Jack Ginnivan is banging the door down for a Collingwood debut, kicking four goals in his sideâs VFL win over Richmond.
He has now kicked 11 goals in three weeks and done everything possible to earn a call-up.
Brayden Sier led the way with 30 disposals, while Finlay Macrae found 23 disposals and Max Lynch won 40 hit-outs to go with two goals.

It’s hard to believe it’s almost halfway through the year.
Too many very good performances went too unnoticed over the weekend, so let’s right those wrongs.
Adelaide: Luke Brown
The Crows own perhaps the two biggest upsets of the season and once again, the back half stood up well, not giving away much to the forwards, with the midfield getting beaten. Share
Brown was instrumental down back for the Crows, with a fantastic 480 metres gained. He took six grabs, had a handful of intercept touches and half a dozen rebound 50s. Big tick.

West Coast and Richmond get the wins they needed
Cast your minds back to July 2017, where the Tigers and Saints met at Marvel Stadium in a primetime match. And now specifically cast your minds back to halftime in that clash, where St Kilda led a horrendous Richmond by 81 points.
