Big-name recruit Daniel Wells put himself in the mix for selection for Anzac Day after a successful return from a calf injury.

The 32-year-old played most of the game, running through the forward line and in the midfield, with his class apparent whenever he touched the ball.

Suspended midfielder Jordan De Goey was one of his side's best in his return from a broken right hand suffered in a bar fight.

De Goey can play in the VFL but will not be available for selection at senior level for the next two weeks.

He booted three goals and his strength was obvious at stoppage situations.

"He was lively. I'm enjoying the three weeks' suspension on my behalf. Clearly he's a good player and … he's just one of those guys we're missing out there at AFL level," coach Jared Rivers said.

Dropped forward Chris Mayne booted two goals and worked hard up the ground.

"His energy around the forward half (was good) and he kicked a couple of vital goals for us late," Rivers said.

Josh Daicos displayed the class that Magpies fans were hoping to see and finished with two goals.

Backman Matthew Scharenberg was very good and was influential in a couple of contests late as his side hung on to beat Coburg, 9.10 (64) to 9.8 (62).

The 25-year-old, who was signed from Essendon's VFL list at the end of last season, was polished in defence with 23 disposals and nine marks.

Essendon VFL coach Paul Corrigan praised the Category B rookie.

"He was really controlled down back, he generated some really good ball movement for us when we needed it," Corrigan said.

"Heath Hocking (29 touches) also did a lot of work inside for us and was really strong around the contest."

Aaron Francis played both forward and in the middle, finishing with a goal, seven tackles and six marks.

The former Docker played about 65 per cent of the game, mostly in the midfield but also up forward, and impressed coach Brad Miller.

"What he gave us from a leadership point of view, and the way he attacks the contest, was terrific," Miller told AFL.com.au.

Draftee Harry Perryman won 26 disposals and kicked three goals. He came to the club as a half-back but has played on the ball and drifted forward at times against Canberra.

"It's more his composure in traffic that's really making a difference. He's shown a lot over the first few weeks," Miller said.

Rookie Dan Lloyd notched up 36 disposals. Lloyd was originally an explosive forward but his toughness has been important around the footy.

Harrison Himmelberg copped a heavy knock to the ribcage but fought through to collect 21 disposals.
