It was another big week for Essendon's tied talent, with Adam Sweid and Hussein El Achkar again among Calder's best, while Tristan Leeds also had some nice moments.

Leeds, meanwhile, kicked two goals and took six marks as a lively medium forward.
Collingwood Next Generation Academy prospect Zac McCarthy returned from a minor hamstring injury in fine style, combining 19 disposals with 17 hitouts in a near best-afield display. It follows a strong preseason as he firms for Vic Metro selection.
Geelong's Next Generation Academy prospect Jesse Mellor's running capacity, clean skills and poise were on show as a medium forward for the Falcons, finishing with 25 disposals and three shots on goal.
Carlton Next Generation Academy small forward, Tyson Gresham, was tough and had some nice moments on a difficult day for his team.
Richmond father-son prospect Louis Kellaway continued his excellent start to the season with 33 disposals and eight clearances for Sturt, while St Kilda Next Generation Academy prospects Kye Fincher were among Sandringham's best with 18 and 17 disposals apiece.
West Coast Next Generation Academy livewire forward Wes Walley started his season with 22 disposals in the WAFL Colts competition, while Fremantle-tied small forward Basil Hart kicked three goals.
