Great win for Werribee. Willi looking the goods too early in the fourth.

Williamstown was awesome today. Seagulls absolutely flogged Collingwood. Werribee continue with their winning streak. Great day for vfa teams.

Williamstown can definitely beat Brisbane up north. The seagulls were flying against Collingwood and a similar effort they can get the points. They beat Brisbane a few weeks ago and can do it again. Think Footscray will beat box hill. This will mean a blockbuster werribee v Williamstown preliminary final. Would rather see them in different part of the draw. On the positive side at least you will get an old vfa team in the grand final. I expect gold coast to beat the winner of Footscray v box hill likely to be the bulldogs. Very good crowd and atmosphere at Williamstown today. The margin flattered Collingwood. Seagulls looked like a 15 goal better team.

Both these clubs (along with Southport last year) have proven to the naysayers that a stand alone club can be successful in this competition. Maybe it's not as hard and impossible as some may have you believe.

No, it's very hard but these clubs, and many standalone teams over the years, have done it well. Fingers crossed for Willi up north next week.

Would love to see a werribee v Willy preliminary final. Williamstown has a rock hard defence. In recent weeks they have won away games at box hill, Casey and Brisbane. Yesterday's game will give them heaps of confidence. Werribee have won 16 straight games. Super effort.

Very proud and impressed with the 'Towners yesterday - after watching the replay I agree with George that we should have won by a lot more as many easy shots at goal were missed but i'll take a 9-goal win in a final any day

It was great to see the old VFA standalone teams Werribee and Willy win against their normally more fancied Collingwood and Melbourne AFL reserves clubs opponents!

Yep, did it easy billy, its not all gloom and doom for the old VFA clubs as long as they can attract and keep good players and good people

Hardly surprising that Springvale/Casey Demons lost after pulling Brodie Grundy, Charlie Spargo, Tom McDonald, James Jordon, Taj Woewodin and Josh Schache out just in case they may be needed for Thursday night for the AFL game
