Story of the game:
The Tigers’ more fancied opponents burst out of the blocks with the first two goals of the game.

John Lamont’s team was right in the game, but some wasted early chances saw the Seagulls go into the first change with a 12-point buffer.

There was plenty of feeling in the game as Tim McGenniss executed a perfect kick across his body to setup a goal for Addam Maric, before Daniel Currie pulled down a strong mark in the square and reduced the margin to two points.

Despite dominating much of the second term, Werribee went into the major change eight points down.

The Tigers again wasted opportunities early in the premiership quarter, but sheer weight of numbers saw them take control of the game. With six goals to nil, the game looked over at the final break.

How quickly momentum can swing - Williamstown kicked three goals in the first six minutes of the last quarter, and finished with a remarkable nine for the quarter to turn a 32-point deficit into a 26-point victory. 

Werribee's season came to an end with a big opportunity missed. 

Points of interest: 
1. Daniel Currie kicked two vital goals from contested marks when the game was in the balance during the second and third quarters.

The North big man had an impact around the ground, and provided a dangerous presence in attack.

“He won the hit-outs and he took some really nice clunks up forward. He’s been working really hard at that (marking), so it was pleasing.

“He worked pretty hard and was one of the better performers for Werribee.” – Senior Development Coach Gavin Brown

2. Mason Wood did his chances of a senior call-up no harm.

The emerging forward provided a spark during the Tigers’ six-goal run in the third term.

“He had an exceptional quarter. He would have had 7 or 8 touches, took some really nice marks and was one of the reasons why we got that buffer on the scoreboard.

“It was a bit of an up and down game for him. He didn’t have many chances in the last quarter because the ball didn’t get down there a lot, but in the first half I thought he worked hard for not much reward.

“The ground is quite small, so in terms of Woody’s capacity to run and use his elite endurance it didn’t quite suit, but he worked his way back into the game in the third quarter.”

3. Scott McMahon continued his consistent form at VFL level, ensuring he’s right to go should an opportunity present.

“He was under enormous amounts of pressure, and I thought he was quite solid today.

“He won some one-on-ones and his leadership was very good again during the breaks. He came to play with a really good attitude. I thought he held up for most of the day.”

The defender has had a tough year, but continues to push his claim.

“Full credit to him – it’s easy to drop your bundle in that situation. He’s gone back with a great attitude. He’s been really positive and a terrific voice and leader.”

4. For a rare occasion, Tim McGenniss’ opponent Kane Lambert got the better of him.

“It wasn’t his best day. He lowered his colours today unfortunately.

“He can be forgiven for that one, because he’s had a quality year in terms of the scalps he’s had.

“He won a little bit of the ball particularly in the first half, and he setup a couple of goals.”

Most likely call-up: Mason Wood
