Last weekend saw several players continue their good form while one player was among the best for his local side on Saturday before making his Werribee debut the next day against Essendon.

WESTERN REGION FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Aidan Johnson - Yarraville Seddon (Local Player of the Week)
A great first game back after being hit with another knee issue on the eve of the season. Had a strong presence up forward kicking two goals and provided a good option as a second ruck in his debut for the Eagles. Finished with 19 disposals, 5 contested marks and four tackles.

Akol Deng - Yarraville Seddon
Continued his good form, again featuring in the best after a big day against Werribee Districts with 48 hit-outs including 14 to advantage, giving his midfielders first use. Seems to have now found the right balance with his ruck and forward rotation.  

Brandon Lester - Yarraville Seddon
Didn’t find a lot of the ball in tough conditions in his second game back but worked hard defensively in the team’s loss to Districts.

Samuel Clifford - Hoppers Crossing
Was really clean in wet conditions to be one of the best for Hoppers against Altona. Had 21 disposals, seven intercepts and used the ball well as the Warriors went down to the Vikings.

ESSENDON DISTRICT FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Cam McLeod - Avondale Heights
In the best for the third straight week after providing a strong option in attack while collecting some strong intercepts across the ground. Pulled down seven marks and kicked two goals in a 28-point loss to Greenvale. Backed up the performance with a late call-up to debut against Essendon on Sunday.

Darcy Cassar - Keilor
Played as a high half-forward and also spent some time on the wing for Keilor as the Bulldogs continued their undefeated start to the year by cruising to a 50-win over Aberfeldie. Accumulated 25 disposals, eight marks, and five inside-50s.

Lachlan Smart - Deer Park
Kicked two goals and worked hard to earn seven contested possessions in a 131-point victory over Tullamarine, helping the Lions move into second on the ladder.

VICTORIAN AMATUER FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION

Jack Boyd - Old Xaverians
Played a big role in a nice win over University Blues. Had 16 disposals with nine clearances along with 16 hit-outs. Contributed two goals up forward and assisted a number of others.

Zayne Galea - Williamstown CYMS
A solid defensive showing in a defeat to Beaumaris. Took five marks and was effective with his 11 disposals which included five rebound 50s.

GEELONG FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Emmanuel Ajang - Geelong West
Played predominantly as an inside midfielder and found 22 disposals at 81 per cent efficiency in a 23-point triumph over Grovedale. Gave his all to help the Giants secure victory.

Matthew Keast - St Mary’s
Played a mixture of midfield and forward after an interrupted past two weeks. Had 17 disposals and four inside-50s in the Saints' tight win over Colac.

OVENS & MURRAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Sam Azzi - North Albury
Started slowly but worked his way into the game and was a solid contributor in the Hoppers' first win of the season. Positioned himself well and came across to intercept on multiple occasions. Collected 18 disposals with eight marks.
