Williamstown thrash Werribee
Williamstown have made it 10 in a row over arch rivals the Werribee Tigers after waltzing to a 83-point victory today, 19.15 (129) to 5.16 (46).
The Seagulls were ruthless in front of their home fans, slamming home six unanswered goals in the first term and continuing the carnage with a 10-goal second half.
Patrick Veszpremi was easily best on ground with 37 touches and three goals, while captain Ben Jolley, Stephen McCallum and Fletcher Roberts also finished with three of their own.
The Seagulls’ back six always looked in control with Bulldogs-listed talls Mark Austin, Michael Talia and Lukas Markovic all impressive.
The only sour note for the Seagulls was a hip injury to Tom Williams, who left the field early in the first term and never reappeared.
On a dark day for the Tigers, Ben Brown shone with the ruckman-come-forward takings several strong marks and booting two-goals.
Sandringham and Port Melbourne fight out draw
Sandringham and Port Melbourne have played out a thrilling draw at Frankston Oval today.
Two late goals, the last to Ryan Gale, drew the Borough level with the Zebras and that’s the way thing stayed with the final siren leaving both sides locked on 16.12 (108).
Two last quarter goals to St Kilda draftee Spencer White (three in total) looked to have given the Zebras the edge but the Borough wouldn’t be denied.
Christopher Cain bagged six goals for the Borough, who were led superbly by John Baird, Sam Plemming and Wayde Skipper.
Chris Michaliades slotted three for the Zebras, who were well served by Hamish Shepheard, Adam Cockie and Josh Saunders before he limped from the field.
Earlier the Zebras had jumped out the block with the first five goals, before Port Melbourne kicked the next seven to reignite the game.
Blues eclipse Coburg
The Northern Blues have emerged victorious after a see-sawing encounter with Coburg today.
In a game in which both sides enjoyed periods in control, the Blues finished the stronger to post a 19.15 (129) to 15.13 (103) win.
Midfielder David Ellard was best afield with 23 disposals and 4 goals while Levi Casboult and Luke Mitchell kicked 3 each.
Kane Lambert (25 possessions and 2 goals) and Adam Marcon (24 and 1) were other stars in a team that looks capable of posing a serious threat come finals time.
Aaron Edwards was Coburg’s best with seven goals, while Orren Stephenson and Brad Helbig were both prominent.
