Midfielder Mitch Wallis warmed-up for a possible AFL debut with the Western Bulldogs next year by leading Calder Cannons to a 58-point win in Sunday's TAC Cup grand final against Gippsland Power.

The captain collected a stunning haul of 47 possessions as the Cannons claimed their sixth premiership in 10 years in the under-18 competition with a 17.14 (116) to 8.10 (58) victory at Etihad Stadium.

Leading by 27 points at half-time, the defending premiers piled on seven goals to Gippsland's two in the third quarter to lead by 10 goals at three-quarter time, with Wallis gathering 14 disposals for the term.

Both teams scored a goal each in the final quarter.

Wallis is the son of former Western Bulldogs skipper Steve.

Aged 17 and 11 months, Wallis is tipped to be taken by the Bulldogs in October along with Calder team-mate Tom Liberatore, son of Tony.

"They (Bulldogs) have given indications but it's not in writing yet," Wallis said on Sunday.

"I'm a little bit nervous about what's going to happen on draft day.

"It's my aim to play senior footy next year, but everything has to fall into place.

"If Libba gets drafted by the Bulldogs as well it'd be a bonus.

"I can't wait to find out because I've been playing with him my all my life. If I can continue to do so it would be so good."

Wallis said his father was his main mentor.

"Every night at the dinner table, it's always footy. Mum hates it," the curly-haired blond said.

"He was a great player and he has taught me so many things in my football development.

"I love talking to him about it. He has been through it all."

Calder's dominant performance included five goals from 196cm forward Luke Mitchell, another prominent draft prospect, while onballer Dion Prestia had 36 disposals.

Power captain Dyson Heppell, the Morrish Medallist and a possible No.1 draft pick, had 20 touches but was held goal-less. Tim Northe and Michael Ross were among Gippsland's leading possession-getters.

Calder had qualified sixth going into the finals series and entered the grand final on a five-game winning streak after regaining their private-school players.

"The more games this group played together, the better they would have got," coach Martin Allison said.

Forward Jed Lamb, a first-round draft prospect, kicked two goals for the Power as did Shaun Marusic. Gippsland had qualified in seventh place and were making their first grand final appearance since their 2005 premiership.
