Swan inspires Point Cook

Point Cook got its best win of the Western Football League division 1 season, with an AFL Brownlow medallist playing a key role in the upset win against Altona.

Collingwood premiership player Dane Swan turned out for the Bulldogs in what was a big day for the club.

The Bulldogs, who were going for two wins in a row, started slowly against the Vikings, before leading by 17 points at half time.

The margin was still 14 points heading into the final quarter.

Point Cook kicked the only two goals of the final quarter to seal a 9.11 (65)-.12 (42) win.

Swan kicked three goals for the Bulldogs to be the leading goalkicker on the ground. He was named in the best along with Tyler and Billy Kolyniuk.

The win was the Bulldogs fourth of the season and they are now only percentage outside the top five.

Hoppers Crossing and Werribee Districts were also on the winners list on Saturday.

The Warriors took home the win against Albion.

After leading by five points at quarter time, the Warriors were able to build throughout the match on the way to a 16.12 (108)-10.10 (70) win.

Isaac Cohen and Ryan Kitchen kicked three goals each for the Warriors.

Ashlin Brown and Jason Pongracic were named their best.

Werribee Districts had a big win against Parkside, winning 22.15 (147)-9.15 (69).

The Tigers controlled the game throughout as it extended the lead in every quarter.

Daniel Nielson kicked his good form with six goals, while Dillon Viojo-Rainbow, Harrison White and Joshua Mould were named the Tigers best.

The Tigers sit a game clear of the Warriors at the top of the ladder.

Point Cook Centrals had a tougher day, losing to Yarraville Seddon, 18.15 (123)-11.10 (76).

Joshua Grech, Mitchell Palma and Nathan Williams were named the Sharks best.
