A big day of VFL action saw wins to Coburg, Werribee, Williamstown, Collingwood and Geelong.
We take a look at the Round 3 Saturday results, with all bar one game being decided by under three goals.
GEELONG d RICHMOND
Margin: 9 points
Telling facts: Geelong entered the final term with one of the bench due to injuries to Smedts (shoulder), Williams (ankle) and Farrelly (ankle). After five lead changes in the final quarter, Geelong kicked the last two goals of the game to McIntosh and Gibbs to claim the win.

COBURG d FRANKSTON
Margin: 16 points
Telling facts: It was the battle of the breeze at Coburg, with Frankston unable to capitalise with the use of it in the final term. Four unanswered goals in the second term to the Dolphins saw them out a 15-point lead, but two late goals got the Lions back within striking distance and they hit the lead in the third and did not relinquish it.
