VIC METRO has rounded out the fourth round of the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships with a 51-point drubbing of the NSW/ACT RAMS at Casey Fields on Saturday afternoon.
The Vics dominated NSW/ACT from the outset with a four-goal-to-one opening term, and steadily increased the difference throughout the match to win 11.14 (80) to 4.5 (29).
Such was Metro's dominance, they kept NSW/ACT scoreless in the third term and didn't let it penetrate the goals until the fourth minute of the final stanza, when Daniel Spiteri converted.
The Vics had three multiple goalkickers with Jordan Lisle, Tom Scully and the highly-touted Jack Watts snaring two apiece, while Lisle also helped himself to 16 possessions and Scully laid seven tackles.
Xavier Gotch collected the most possessions on the field with 21 and ruckman Tyrone Vickery had 21 hit-outs, which was 10 more than NSW/ACT's leading big man Mitchell Frail.
For NSW/ACT, Kade Klemke had 19 touches and Scott Reed 16 with six tackles.
Dylan McNeil was handy with four clearances and 16 disposals.
NSW/ACT was dealt an additional blow midway through the final term when Anthony Stubbs was helped from the field with concussion.
Vic Metro 4.6 6.8 10.12 11.14 (80)
