Williamstown have reinstated their top 4 credentials with a clinical 59-point victory over old foe the Coburg Tigers at Whitten Oval on Sunday.
Coming into the fixture in 5th and on the back of two consecutive defeats to Port Melbourne and South Adelaide in the Foxtel Cup respectively, the Seagulls were desperately in need of some respite and a return to the historic Whitten Oval proved to be the perfect tonic.
From the opening bounce Peter German's men dominated proceedings, kicking 8 goals to 2 in the opening quarter and breaking the game open in the early stages with their speed around the ground and their clean ball-use dissecting their opposition.
The second term began in much the same way for the Seagulls with their pace and spread resulting in the first two goals of the contest. But Coburg would fight-back and threaten to get back in the game, claiming the next three goals and gaining control of the contested ball.
With the Seagull's needing to regain their momentum, the players provided the perfect response with a mouth-watering team goal in transition late in the quarter. The ball was carried from the their opposition 50 forward via a chain of hand passes before debutant Anthony Anastasio finished, establishing a 31-point buffer at half-time.
