Seagulls’ season over

Williamstown’s finals run came to an end at the hands of the Casey Demons on Saturday in a Victorian Football League elimination final.

After winning a wildcard final the previous week, getting over the line in an elimination was a step too far for the Seagulls.

Having travelled out to Casey Fields, the Seagulls were on the back foot early on.

The Demons kicked six first goals to two as they opened up a 23 point lead at the first break.

It was very similar in the second quarter, as the Demons extended the lead to 43 points at the main break and had one foot in a semi final.

While the Seagulls had their best quarter of the game in the third quarter score wise, the Demons were still able to outscore them to make the lead 50 points heading into the final quarter.

With the game all but over, the Demons stamped their authority in the final quarter to run away with a 20.12 (132)-8.8 (56) win.

Brodie McLaughlin kicked three goals for the Seagulls to add to his impressive haul for the year.

Damon Hollow was the other multiple goalkicker for the Seagulls with two goals.

Jake Greiser had 26 disposals for the Seagulls, while Joel Fitzgerald had 23 as both were busy with the ball in hand.

While the Seagulls season is over, Footscray Bulldogs continued on their merry way with a big win against Frankston.

The Bulldogs won 15.15 (105)-3.7 (25).

Zac Walker kicked four goals for the Bulldogs and Arthur Jones kicked three.

The Bulldogs now have the week off ahead of a preliminary final.
