HOW IT HAPPENED

Josh Porter had Werribee on the board inside the opening two minutes but Collingwood would soon take the lead with a couple of quick majors. Harry Stubbings, playing his first game of the season, provided Werribee’s second goal 11 minutes in and another three soon followed with Shaun Mannagh booting two either side of Jay Dahlhaus’ first. Mannagh’s second gave Werribee a 17-point lead after 19 minutes before Hudson Garoni goaled late to give the Big W a 19-point buffer at the first change.
