Hawthorn's Jackson Callow and North Melbourne's Tarryn Thomas, who are both premiership players at North Launceston, put strong performances on the park in their respective games.
Looking to add to his three AFL games this season, Callow was named best player and kicked three goals as Hawthorn's VFL affiliate Box Hill crunched Frankston by 51 points.
He had 19 touches and took eight marks as he led the game's goal-kicking alongside former Western Bulldogs player Ben Cavarra.
A day later on Sunday, Thomas had 20 disposals for North Melbourne as they were defeated by Sydney's reserves.
Playing his fourth season in the AFL, the 22-year-old has had an up and down season, missing three games with internal bruising earlier this year before missing recent games due to personal reasons.
Gracing the VFL for the second consecutive week, Thomas is beginning to show the kind of form that suggested he was going to have a breakout season this year.
