It was the last audition for AFL Mid-Season Draft prospects ahead of the intake on Tuesday, while a club-tied prospect had a breakout game in the Talent League.
That and more in AFL Draft Watch.
Mid-Season Draft hopefuls shine
A host of Mid-Season Draft prospects used the weekend to reinforce their credentials for Tuesday's intake.
Richmond VFL‘s Sam Toner had 24 disposals and three goals, importantly showing his running power on the wing in his most complete performance of the year.
Hawthorn could be a late suitor for the forward.
His Tigers VFL teammate Mutaz El Nour was as dependable as ever in defence.
Marcus Herbert, who has drawn Jack Sinclair comparisons, had 34 disposals off half back and will be in the mix for Richmond's first selection.
Frankston's Harrison Coe was strong in the ruck in a scrappy game on Saturday night. He is one of several rucks clubs are doing work on, with Collingwood and Melbourne the clubs he has been most linked to.
Brynn Teakle is another one Collingwood is considering, and he had 10 disposals, 22 hitouts and seven tackles in the Magpies loss to Werribee.
Williamstown's Hugo Hall-Kahan has interest from multiple clubs and missed a running shot on the siren to win his side the game but played with his usual dash off half-back.
Seagulls teammate Joel Fitzgerald was a clearance machine and brought his usual tenacity to the midfield.
Richmond NGA on the big stage
Richmond Next Generation Academy prospect Tanner Armstrong was part of Dreamtime at the 'G on Friday.
Armstrong was one of the First Nations Dancers in the pre-game ceremony, getting the opportunity to dance alongside potential future teammate Maurice Rioli in front of a packed MCG.
A tenacious, ball-winning midfielder, Armstrong boards at Scotch College and is from Murray Bushrangers. He represented the AFL Academy earlier this year.
Knights winger on clubs' radar
Northern Knights winger Toby Krasna is a player who is jumping up in calculations early in 2026.
An excellent athlete whose game is underpinned by excellent running power, Krasna's been given midfield opportunity for both the Knights and Parade College and shown a good ability to slip his way through traffic.
His ability to kick off both feet and deliver the ball forward dangerously have also been key features of his game.
He made the Vic Metro squad so will have the opportunity to prove his capability against the country's best next month.
Hawthorn-tied prospect stars
Eastern Ranges forward Myles Reynders kicked a bag of six goals in the Talent League on Sunday.
Reynders led the way in the program's 131-point walloping of Bendigo, setting up plenty of goals alongside the ones he kicked himself.
His talent is undoubted, with those who know him pointing to clear AFL attributes, but he started the year outside the Ranges line-up.
Those around him hope the match kick-starts a strong second half of 2026.
He has spent time training with Hawthorn in pre-season and is a third tall type of forward.
The Hawks also have priority access to Gippslander Keenan Boi, who is expected to be in draft calculations.
GWV forward impressing
GWV medium forward Archie Elliott kicked four of his team's eight goals on Saturday, lifting his season tally to 21 across seven games.
He has been a revelation for the Rebels this season, with his craftiness well complemented by his manic pressure and second efforts.
He showed promise in a Vic Country trial game and has taken the eye of recruiters.
