Williams has now kicked 58 in only nine games - a cracking average of six and a half - after producing another best on ground display in the 15.16 (106) to 7.7 (49) win.

With two rounds remaining, Wangaratta's Morris medallist Callum Moore sits next on 54, with team-mate Ben Reid on 48.

Williams missed four and three games with a broken finger and broken bone in his back respectively, but he's been so dominant, it wouldn't surprise to see him feature in the Morris Medal's top 10.

The 32-year-old was well supported by Nick Fothergill (two goals), coach Mark Whiley and Lach Howe, in his first game for a month.

"It took us a while to get going, credit to them, their pressure was super high," Whiley praised.
