A SECOND-HALF fadeout by Frankston allowed Port Melbourne to score a runaway 58-point victory yesterday at TEAC Oval.

The tough and slippery conditions created a contest for the first half — Port led by just 11 points at the main break — but Frankston's inaccurate kicking in front of goals and around the ground allowed the margin to blow out.

Dolphins coach Brett Lovett said he was disappointed by his team's performance, labeling it one of the worst in some time. He added that his players would be hearing some "home truths" during the week and hinted that he might make some changes after the reserves had a 72-point victory.

"We are very disappointed," he said. "I felt the guys were very lethargic and just didn't show the effort that we've been showing in the first four games.

WILLIAMSTOWN has handed North Ballarat its first defeat of the season, beating the Roosters by 17 points in a top-of-the-table clash at Burbank Oval yesterday.

As expected from the two top sides, the match was a tight contest from the first bounce.

Seagulls coach Bradley Gotch said he was happy to beat the undefeated Roosters but lamented his side's missed opportunities in front of goal: "In the third quarter we kicked three (goals and) nine (points and), we hit the post three times," he said. "It would have been nice … to put a bigger gap in it at three-quarter-time. To North Ballarat's credit, they kept coming at us all day. I thought they played pretty good footy."
Williamstown's big forwards were prominent with Dean Galea, Wayde Skipper, Jarrad Grant and Callan Ward kicking 11 goals between them. Guy O'Keefe was one of the Seagulls' best with three goals.
