North Melbourne Next Generation Academy prospect Archie Devine was among the standouts of the Allies trial match on Saturday.
A group of 46 of the top players from across Tasmania, New South Wales, ACT, Queensland and Northern Territory played a showcase game which will help determine selection of the final squad.
Devine finished with 34 disposals, linking up in possession chains and taking the game on.
He has spent time training with the Kangaroos, who have priority access to him at this year's national draft.
“He's got an ability to accumulate the ball. He gets to positions where he's able to receive,” Allies and Tasmania Devils coach Scott Moore told Zero Hanger last month.
"The growth in his game is finding a balance between accumulating and damaging. In the last couple of weeks, he's been more damaging moving the ball forward.
"He can break the game open with kicking and handballing forward."
Fellow North Melbourne NGA prospect Jess Bula did not play as he remains a couple of weeks away from talent pathway footy after a finger injury earlier in the season.
Bottom-aged Tasmanian Jake Beams was another standout, accumulating 29 disposals and 13 rebound 50s using his lethal kicking to set the game up from half-back.
Highly regarded GWS Academy bottom-ager Cooper French was another notable absentee, rested after a strong Talent League campaign for the Giants.
Sydney Academy's bottom-aged key position talent Coen Hardy was a surprise packet, using his towering presence to compete hard, finishing with four goals.
Rising GWS Academy talent Ethan Matthews played through the midfield and continued his strong form with seven clearances, while fellow AFL Academy player Archie Hill rotated between half-back and the wing, both players finishing with 28 disposals.
Sonny Smiler, who was a late addition to the AFL Academy, taking part in game one, showed his x-factor, finishing with five shots on goal, rotating between a deep forward post and wing position. Smiler is the Northern Territory's leading AFL Draft prospect this year.
Cooper Hodge, the son of Hawthorn great Luke, tied to both Brisbane Lions and the Hawks, played through the midfield and showed his trademark tenacity, finishing with 20 disposals, five tackles and a goal. His Lions Academy teammate Caylen Murray had 26 disposals at 88 per cent efficiency.
Allies' selection will be confirmed next week ahead of its first game against Vic Country on June 14.
Ash Prindable, the brother of Collingwood's Tyan, tied to Brisbane's Academy, was also in action and had 19 disposals.
Among other standouts were Gold Coast Academy's 19-year-old ruck Jonah Harris (30 hitouts), Tasmania's Charlie Bovill, who spent time forward and back and Sydney Academy's Guy Jenkin, who roamed the wings effectively and worked hard all day.
