VIC METRO and Oakleigh Chargers midfielder Dom Tyson enhanced his credentials as a likely top-10 pick at the NAB AFL Draft with a brilliant performance for his representative school team at the weekend.

Tyson gathered 33 possessions and booted two goals for the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria team against the Associated Public Schools' side in the annual match played at Haileybury College on Saturday.

Tyson's ability at the stoppages, where he managed seven clearances, was well complemented by his hard-running style that saw him finish with 17 handball receives.

Toby Greene, a teammate of Tyson's in the championship-winning Vic Metro side, was prolific for APS, which won by 47 points, with 31 disposals in a match that has become a good indicator of AFL potential.

"I think it's fantastic that these kids get the opportunity to play in these representative games and we often see them continue the good form they've shown at championships or TAC Cup level," AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan said.

"There's always a sprinkling of AFL scouts there having a good look at these young players in a different environment and playing alongside different teammates.

"Some things don't change though, with the very best players announcing themselves as Tyson and Greene did."

Both players had already elevated their standing in the eyes of AFL recruiters in the final game of the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships with 29 possessions each against Vic Country.   

Tyson and Greene will be snapped up early in the draft and players from both of Saturday's teams will join them in the AFL.

Last year's APS-AGS game produced 13 players that were drafted onto AFL lists with that group including first-round selections Matthew Watson (Carlton), Mitchell Wallis (Western Bulldogs), Ben Jacobs (Port Adelaide) and Patrick Karnezis (Brisbane Lions).

The game was a significant step in the right direction for AGS midfielder Elliott Kavanagh, who has been touted as having top-10 potential. The PEGS onballer has been stricken with hamstring injuries for most of this year, but showed enough on Saturday to suggest he'll be a player to watch as the Western Jets push toward the TAC Cup finals.

A scout from GWS was spotted in the crowd and he would have been pleased with what he saw from Tomas Bugg, who the club has already signed as part of its 17-year-old allocation.

The quick-handed left footer was instrumental in APS' win with 25 possessions and two goals.

North Melbourne and Melbourne also had a stake in the game with future father-son picks Luke McDonald, son of North footy manager Donald, and Jack Viney, son of caretaker Demons' coach Todd, playing for AGS and APS respectively.

Viney's exploits at the national championships already have Melbourne fans excited, but McDonald, who the Roos are yet to commit to selecting, finished with 20 possessions, seven tackles and a goal in a performance sure to please North supporters.

Both clubs will need to be patient, however, with Viney not eligible to be drafted until 2012 and McDonald 2013.
