South Barwon defeated Colac by 42 points to set up a huge Geelong Football League second semi-final clash against St Mary’s.
The Swans were too good for their western rivals, scoring 10 goals to four in a dominant second half at Geelong West on Saturday September 2.
Colac now goes into a first semi-final clash against a fast finishing Leopold.
Jonty Broughton (four goals), in his 100th game, and Jack Driver (three) worried the Colac defence all afternoon.
Doyle Madigan also played well while Kelly O’Neill (23 possessions) was busy around the ball.
For Colac, Kody Spokes (25 disposals) and Bailey Scott (30) were productive while defender Dustin Walters was a tower of strength.
Colac will be out to avoid its second consecutive straight sets elimination from the finals series when it meets Leopold at West Oval on Sunday.
Leopold made it 12 wins from 14 games with a 22-point win against Newtown & Chilwell.
The loss means the Eagles are out of the finals race.
The Eagles kicked 1.8 in the final term.
Mitch Patten’s 10 kicks yielded four goals for Leopold while at the other end of the ground Harris Jennings was almost impenetrable.
Oliver Tate had 24 kicks and 11 handballs with 14 contested possessions and Logan Wagener had 29 disposals.
The Towners were wasteful in front of goal, but Cameron Wilkinson, Ned Harris (19 disposals) and Connor Fopiani tried their hearts out.
