On 25 winners are North Ballarat's Angelo Cristoforo, Mark a Port Melbourne fan as well as Melbourne Storm, Gary 'Fitzroy' Ritchie as well as zebra fan Jeff Smith. 

Others also on 25 winners include Justin Pink who watches Werribee, Kain 'Casey Radio' Pollard (tune in on 97.7FM) for Casey's VFL broadcast match each Saturday and Sunday. 

Also on 25 winners are Taswegian Kelly Direen a devil and a tiger, Rosalyn a seagull, Penguin another Werribee fan and John 'Saint John' Kelly who has followed the zebras since the days of Bob Murray and Ian Cooper were dragging big marks at Beach Road.

AGGREGATE SCORE

This week's aggregate score winner was Chris 'The Penguin' Paraskavas who selected the exact aggregate score of 248 points for the Sandringham v Bendigo clash at Beach Road (Sandringham 159 Bendigo 89). Penguin collects $40. 

The next aggregate score match will be the Round 7 match between Casey v Collingwood at Casey Fields. 

SEVEN WINNERS

Three tipsters selected 7 winners. Taswegian Johnny McNamara who would be delighted with the devils selected seven. Casey Radio's Kain Pollard also picked seven as did Justin 'Slice' Pink a Werribee fan. Justin picked 284 points for the aggregate score which was nearest the 248 points (Sandringham 159 Bendigo 89). Justin collects $60. 

Another $30 will go to the tipster who picks seven winners in Round 6. 

If more than one tipster picks seven the tipster nearest the aggregate score for the Casey v Collingwood game will collect. If no tipster picks seven it will jackpot to the following week.

"But for our inaccurate goalkicking, we would won by a bigger margin," Ayres said.

Port storms home as fadeout sinks the Dolphins

A SECOND-HALF fadeout by Frankston allowed Port Melbourne to score a runaway 58-point victory yesterday at TEAC Oval.

The tough and slippery conditions created a contest for the first half — Port led by just 11 points at the main break — but Frankston's inaccurate kicking in front of goals and around the ground allowed the margin to blow out.

Dolphins coach Brett Lovett said he was disappointed by his team's performance, labeling it one of the worst in some time. He added that his players would be hearing some "home truths" during the week and hinted that he might make some changes after the reserves had a 72-point victory.

"We are very disappointed," he said. "I felt the guys were very lethargic and just didn't show the effort that we've been showing in the first four games.

WILLIAMSTOWN has handed North Ballarat its first defeat of the season, beating the Roosters by 17 points in a top-of-the-table clash at Burbank Oval yesterday.

As expected from the two top sides, the match was a tight contest from the first bounce.

Seagulls coach Bradley Gotch said he was happy to beat the undefeated Roosters but lamented his side's missed opportunities in front of goal: "In the third quarter we kicked three (goals and) nine (points and), we hit the post three times," he said. "It would have been nice … to put a bigger gap in it at three-quarter-time. To North Ballarat's credit, they kept coming at us all day. I thought they played pretty good footy."
Williamstown's big forwards were prominent with Dean Galea, Wayde Skipper, Jarrad Grant and Callan Ward kicking 11 goals between them. Guy O'Keefe was one of the Seagulls' best with three goals.

ADEM Yze staked his claim for a quick-fire return to the Melbourne side in yesterday's VFL match between Sandringham Zebras and the Bendigo Bombers at the Trevor Barker Oval.

Sandringham coach Andy Lovell praised Yze's contribution of 16 kicks, 12 handballs, two marks and two goals working from a wing and through the midfield in the 70-point win.

"Adem has been really good in the last two games," Lovell said.

"He has been back with us a month and his attitude has been really outstanding. Yesterday he sacrificed his game for the team and was a real team leader."

Sandringham's 10-goal first quarter set it up for a 24.15 (159) to 13.11 (89) victory.

"Our first quarter was really strong," Lovell said. "We played really good disciplined football and we moved the ball quickly."
