VFL stand-alone clubs Coburg and Port Melbourne have proven they are finals' material after resolute victories on Saturday.

To the contrary of most football pundits who believed that AFL stand-alone clubs would dominate against teams made up of part-time footballers, the Lions and Borough knocked off Footscray and Essendon respectively – in another major step forward for the competition.

Coburg are in the mix to make their first finals series, since splitting with former AFL affiliate Richmond, while Port Melbourne are pushing for the top four. Of course, reigning premier Williamstown are in second position, again flexing their muscle under coach Andy Collins.

The Seagulls and Borough have both won VFL flags over the past six seasons as stand-alone VFL clubs. Coburg's rise – along with some competitive rigour and drive from Frankston and North Ballarat (albeit being on the bottom of the ladder) – has the competition in a healthy state.

Bulldogs VFL coach Ash Hansen believes playing against VFL stand-alone clubs assists with the development of their younger players.

Box Hill coach Marco Bello says his side was non competitive in VFL loss to the Northern Blues

BOX Hill coach Marco Bello labelled his side “non competitive” after it capitulated to the Northern Blues on Saturday.

The Hawks led by four points at half time but were outscored 11 goals to five in the second half.

The 15.13 (103) to 10.7 (67) defeat at Box Hill City Oval was the team’s third defeat in four matches. The latest lost plunged the Hawks (5-3) from third spot to fifth on the ladder.

“We were non-competitive really, unfortunately,’’ Bello said.

Marco Bello was not a happy coach on Saturday. Picture: Stuart Milligan.
“The stats may not say that, with hands on the footy and inside 50’s similar, but we were un-Box Hill like in how we moved the ball inside 50 and our ability to defend.

“The Northern Blues showed us how to play our style and we had too many passengers. We were happy with two or three players and you could put a blanket over the rest who just did bits and pieces.”

Collingwood takes its fourth win on the spin by defeating top-of-the-ladder Casey Scorpions

THE sun peeked through at one stage, but it was altogether a dirty day at Casey Fields, cold and wet and windy, a winter special.

And for the Casey Scorpions it was a rotten result.

They not only lost to Collingwood by 40 points, they lost top spot on the VFL ladder, handing it over to Williamstown after the Seagulls overcame a dogged Frankston at Point Gellibrand.

And their return of 2.7 (19) was the club’s lowest in the VFA/VFL, thinner than the 3.4 (22) against North Ballarat in 2004.

In heavy conditions that left the players exhausted, the Magpies took the lead through goals from Matt Smith and Jordan Collopy in the first quarter and held it the rest of the way.

The one-touch class of James Aish and Rupert Wills was telling, ruckman Lachlan Howe took it up to big Jake Spencer and Travis Cloke was the best forward on the ground.
