Phillip Island hosted the bottom side DWWWW this week at the Cowes Oval. Apart from a decent breeze to contend with, it was a great day for footy. The match started with the Island showing their usual running game, but could not convert their efforts on the scoreboard. The Allies were showing up the Bulldogs in the first few minutes as they scored a behind and then their first goal to show some fight. B.Vernon was popping up everywhere and helped the home side to take control of the game. They kicked nine unanswered goals for the rest of the quarter with Captain Riky kicking three. The game was effectively won at quarter time, with a percentage booster up for grabs.

Q-time score: Phillip Island 10.9.69 - DWWWW 1.1.7

The 2^nd quarter was all Phillip Island’s as they dominated the possession count and continued to hit the scoreboard regularly. Youle and B.Vernon were wreaking havoc all over the ground and Stock capitalised down forward kicking two majors. The Bulldogs were sharing the ball around with every player doing their bit to get the ball forward. On the odd occasion that the Allies worked the ball forward, it was quickly rebounded straight back out by the Island defenders.

Half time score: Phillip Island 18.15.123 - DWWWW 1.1.7

The Island stepped up their scoring rate in the last quarter booting ten goals for the quarter. Z.Vernon’s took plenty of grabs around the ground to excite the crowd, whilst J.Dykes work rate was impressive. Riky got amongst the goals again kicking another two goals and Guilmartin provided a target inside 50, also snagging two goals. The Allies showed little resistance to the Bulldog’s goal spree, being scoreless for the quarter again.

3q time score: Phillip Island 28.19.187 - DWWWW 1.1.7

The Phillip Island side saved their best until last as they kicked twelfth goals in the last quarter to give DWWWW their biggest loss for the season. J.Dykes capped off a great game kicking two goals to take his tally to five, Terlich kicked his fourth goal and McDonnell joined the party to end up with four goals. B.Vernon ran out the game well to be best on ground, with support from all players in a great team effort. Seventeen individual goalkickers helped the Island to forty goals, in a big win going into the bye next week.
