A 52-point loss to Williamstown adds to the Selkirk Roosters' hometown woes at Eureka Stadium.
The Roosters have chalked up one win from four matches this season - their sole victory was claimed in round three at Collingwood's Victoria Park.
Williamstown had a stranglehold on play early and dominated through the midfield.
The Roosters clawed back in a promising second quarter and were two straight kicks down at half-time.
Little errors caught up with the Roosters and Williamstown maintained an edge, then kicked away in an unstoppable final term.
Western Bulldogs-listed mdifielder Mitch Wallis played a leading role for Williamstown, picking up 33 touches and eight marks.
The Roosters must bounce back for a formidable test next week when they take on reigning premier Port Melbourne - unbeaten in its past 24 VFL matches.
