Ricky Henderson made a successful return from pectoral and back issues, and collected 27 disposals in his first game at any level since round seven.

Ruckman Luke Lowden got through the 13-point loss with 16 hit-outs and two goals in his fourth game for the year after an Achilles injury.

Defender Sam Siggins, who has been sidelined since last month's Showdown because of injury and illness, had 13 touches and took five marks.

Jarryd Lyons picked up 29 touches and kicked a goal, which follows on from his best-on-ground performance in the SANFL before last week's bye.

Brent Staker kicked three goals in his first game since round five.

The 31-year-old was making his first appearance since he tore a hamstring against Gold Coast in just his second AFL game for the year.

Ryan Harwood was another prolific Lion in the team's 10-point loss, while Harris Andrews and Sam Mayes were in the best after being omitted from the senior side.

State league affiliate: Northern Blues (VFL)
This weekend: Northern Blues v Werribee Tigers - Saturday June 20, 2.15pm, Ikon Park

Defender Michael Jamison made an encouraging return from a calf injury that has kept him out since round five.

The 29-year-old played well on North Melbourne-listed tall Majak Daw and picked up nine touches, two marks and conceded one goal in about 60 per cent game time.

"From (Jamison's) point of view, he would've liked to have touched the ball a bit more but … we thought he played his role throughout the day on Majak and a couple of other guys, and getting him through was the main thing," Carlton's VFL and development coach Luke Webster told AFL.com.au. 

"Hopefully he can put himself up (for AFL selection) next week or the week after."

Matthew Watson booted six goals in the Blues' thrilling four-point win, while Mark Whiley collected 28 possessions.

David Ellard (28) and Blaine Boekhorst (26) were also prolific ball winners along with Nick Holman (22).

Former Bulldog Jason Tutt had 21 touches after a quiet AFL game last week against Adelaide.

Jamison already showing his quality: halving contests with Daw and rebounding well. #PJVFL #JamoWatch

This weekend: Williamstown v Box Hill Hawks - Sunday June 21, 2pm, Burbank Oval

Forwards James Sicily and Sam Grimley took the honours with five goals apiece in the Hawks' emphatic 62-point win.

Ruckman Ben McEvoy (hamstring), defender Matt Spangher (hamstring) and midfielder Will Langford (calf) again featured at VFL level after overcoming their respective injuries before the Hawks' bye round.

"Spangher was a ripper for us, he took seven or eight marks from opposition (kicks) inside our defensive 50. His impact in the air and then when it hit the ground was really effective," Box Hill coach Marco Bello told AFL.com.au.

"(McEvoy) played about 60 per cent of ruck and did 30-40 per cent forward. He was the catalyst for us to be able to win our hands on the footy.

"Langford started a little bit slowly, but as the game went on he kept on getting better and better. (He) affected the opposition with his strength and … had 25-odd touches himself."

Utility Brendan Whitecross and on-baller Alex Woodward rounded out the even spread of contributors for the Hawks.

"That was Whitecross's best game for the year, so he's slowly been able to get back to playing some good footy," Bello said.

Forward Aaron Black (19 touches) and Brad McKenzie (18) also found the ball, while defender Aaron Mullett (16) had a quieter game compared to his past fortnight.

This weekend: Richmond v Footscray - Saturday June 20, 12.12pm, Punt Road Oval

Veteran defender Dale Morris made a successful return in his first competitive hit-out after a pectoral injury he sustained in round three against Hawthorn.

"(Morris) played about 80 per cent game time, which was what we expected," Bulldogs football operations manager Ben Graham told AFL.com.au. 

"His game wasn't measured on statistics - the main one was game time and getting him through his first hit-out in a couple of months. 

"The beauty of it is he got through the game unscathed and put himself into selection contention this week."

Big man Ayce Cordy registered six goals in an impressive display in the Dogs' gripping two-point win, while omitted onballer Lin Jong responded to his demotion in the best possible way with 28 touches.

Half-back Shane Biggs (31 disposals), midfielder Lachie Hunter (27) and youngster Mitch Honeychurch (24, one goal) were also solid contributors.

All times are local

Dale Morris gets his first touch in his return game. Great to see the general out there in defence!
