Potential No. 1 draft pick Nick Daicoswas the head-turner for Oakleigh Chargers in the NAB League’s Easter Monday clash at Moorabbin.

However, the Northern Knights also packed a one-two punch in the Round 2 of the competition on Good Friday as Ned Long and Joel Fitzgerald put their names up in lights.

Midfielder-forward Long was best afield in the Knights’ win over Western Jets, logging 26 disposals, nine marks, six clearances and three goals rotating between the midfield and forward line.

The Melbourne Grammar student is targeting a big first three games for the Knights before heading back to school football.

Rebounding defender Fitzgerald also shone brightly with a game-high 32 disposals, as well as 12 marks and four score involvements.

Eastern Ranges forward Corey Preston also had a sharp first outing, booting four goals from 18 disposals and five marks.

Preston had trained with the Western Bulldogs AFL team over the off-season in search of a list spot, after missing selection in last year’s AFL National Draft.

Western Bulldogs Next Generation Academy member Cody Raak, who also trained at Whitten Oval over the summer, had a second impressive game for the Western Jets with 18 disposals, five rebound 50s and seven intercept possessions.

A 192cm key defender, Raak has settled down back after being a forward until midway through the 2019 season and also best afield for the Jets in Round 1.

NAB AFL Academy member Ben Hobbs made his presence felt for the Greater Western Victoria Rebels in their win over Geelong Falcons.

A 182cm inside midfielder who loves the contest, the Horsham product had 22 disposals (14 contested), along with eight clearances, eight tackles and three score involvements.

Fellow NAB AFL Academy member Tyler Sonsie starred for Eastern Ranges in their win over Calder Cannons.

The smooth-moving Sonsie had 34 disposals, six marks, eight clearances and kicked two goals.

Mac Andrew was one of the standout big men of the weekend, the 200cm ruckman finding plenty of the ball to log 22 disposals, 12 hit-outs, six clearances and three marks for Dandenong Stingrays.
