WILLIAMSTOWN showed plenty of character to shred Port Melbourne's record of 21 undefeated matches on its home turf with a 42-point win at TEAC Oval yesterday.

And while Collingwood was triumphant over Geelong by 38 points, North Ballarat came from behind against Sandringham to win by 26 points and remain in pole position heading into next week's finals.

Geelong

Collingwood

GEELONG will leave VFL captain James Podsiadly out of its team for its final-round clash with Collingwood at Skilled Stadium on Saturday.

Last year's Liston Trophy winner missed last week's 82-point loss to Werribee with an ankle injury and the Cats will err on the side of caution with their spearhead this week to ensure he is right for their first final.
