Story of the game

Werribee came into Sunday’s clash against Frankston with a four game winning streak, and right from the outset the home side went towards making it five.

A six-goal first quarter was followed by a further seven in the second saw the Tigers go into the long break with a 51-point lead.

From there the result was academic. Werribee gathered some handy percentage points, kicking 22 goals in its 77-point victory. As an added bonus, it ended the weekend a full game clear on top of the VFL ladder.

Points of interest

1. Daniel Currie was the best of the North-listed players on the afternoon. After giving his midfielders first use of the ball while the game was on the line, he spent more time forward later in the game. He was rewarded with a five-goal haul, capping a monster game.

"He had a massive day and he’s really in a rich vein of form," Senior Development Coach Gavin Brown told NMFC.com.au.

"His last month of footy has been exceptional and it was the same again today."

2. With the absence of Ben Brown on Saturday due to injury and Jarrad Waite hindered by a foot injury, Majak Daw picked an ideal time to turn in yet another quality outing.

"The conditions being perfect for footy really helped the footy we wanted to play, and Majak was really good," Brown said.

"He played a big part in the massive win and he was able to fit in really well."

3. It was far from the ideal preparation for Scott McMahon, catching the red-eye flight home from Perth, landing in the early hours of Sunday morning, before being required at Werribee in the afternoon.

However he didn’t let it affect him, turning in a typically solid performance.

"He was the Rock of Gibraltar in defence and solid again.

"It was the third week in a row ‘Loose’ has defended really well and it was impressive considering he caught the red eye back the previous night," Brown said.

4. A week after his best game for the year, Will Fordham backed it up with a further 29 disposals. His run and carry was a feature throughout the afternoon.

"He played on the wing all day and ran really, really hard," Brown said.

"We were able to capitalise on that and he took 10 marks as well. His offence was a real highlight and it was really positive."

Most likely call-up: Majak Daw
Next week: Saturday May 30 v Sandringham at Trevor Barker Oval, 2:00pm
