WERRIBEE Districts picked up their third win in a row after beating the Yarraville Seddon Eagles by 51-points at Price Reserve.
Both teams struggled early with the windy conditions, kicking only six goals between them in the first half as Werribee Districts took a 13-point margin into the main break.
The Tigers extended their lead to 27-points after a four goal to two third quarter before the game came to life in the last term.
Werribee Districts came out firing after the three quarter time break and their quick ball movement saw them pile on seven goals to take home the 51-point win.
Mading Atem was best on ground for the Tigers effectively using his athleticism in the ruck, while Trent Donnon and Lachlan Rainbow were solid through the midfield.
Aaron Law and Alexander Psarros were the leading goal kickers for Werribee Districts with three goals apiece.
Liam Murray and Benjamin Wagland were the standouts for Yarraville Seddon, while Lachlan Huell was the Eagles’ only multiple goal scorer with two majors.
Deer Park also picked up their third win from as many matches with a 63-point win over Spotswood, the team that beat them in last year’s grand final.
After an even first quarter the Lions took advantage in the second term, kicking five goals to none for a 31-point lead at half time.
Spotswood couldn’t make a dint in the lead during the third quarter before Deer Park finished the game with another five goal to none quarter to score a 63-point win.
Tyson Maiava led the way for the Lions with four goals while Rusiate Komaitai added three of his own. Charlie Bettiol and Grant Williams were the best for Spotswood.
In the other game of the round, Hoppers Crossing held on for a 12-point win against Altona in a back and forth match at Hogans Road Reserve.
Both teams led for periods of the game before the Warriors managed to push the margin out to 30-points at three quarter time.
Altona kept Hoppers Crossing scoreless in the last term, but could only kick two goals from eight scoring shots and ended up suffering back-to-back losess.
Brayden Kitchen kicked four for the Warriors, while Matthew Wright played well for the Vikings with two goals.
Round 5 sees Altona and Spotswood try to get back onto the winners list when they play at Grant Reserve.
