Seven in row for rampaging Eagles

East Geelong stretched its winning streak to seven after a ruthless 90-point win against Werribee Centrals in the penultimate round of Geelong & District Football League on Saturday August 12.

The Eagles can still grab third spot if they defeat Belmont this weekend and Centrals defeats Inverleigh.

The most likely scenario is an elimination final match-up against Bannockburn.

Zac Smith was on a goal-kicking rampage on Saturday with nine to take his tally to 65 this season while Caleb Lowndes chipped in with five and Midfielder Billy Andrew was damaging.

Bell Post Hill will finish in second spot after a 66-point win against Belmont.

Will Ford booted seven for the Panthers to move to 61 for the season while Jett Herrmann and Matthew James were great contributors.

Bell Post Hill will meet either East Geelong or Inverleigh in a qualifying final.

Inverleigh fine-tuned its game with an 88-point win against North Geelong.

Adam Donohue (six goals) and Casey Meehan (four) were on target up forward.

North Geelong was goalless during the first half, but Jacsen Jewell bobbed up to boot three goals in the second to add some respectability to the score.

Winchelsea did what it needed to do by beating Geelong West, but needed an upset in the Corio vs Bannockburn game to stay in the finals race.

With Banno winning comfortably, that’s the season done for the Blues.

Four goals each to Edward Smith and Leigh Ellis gave the Blues a nine-goal win.

Bannockburn cemented its finals spot with a 62-point win against Corio.

The Tigers cannot finish any higher than fifth, but with Callum Hetherington (six goals) in fine form, could do some damage.

Joel Bennett (four goals) continues to be a shining light for the Magpies and a return of 39 goals this season is a superb effort.

Thomson stayed in top spot after a 147-point triumph over Anakie.

Brent Jacques kicked eight for the Tigers while Mitch Hodgson and Jed Hanneysee contributed four each.

Thomson meets second placed Bell Post Hill this week to decide top spot. The Tigers are a game and 14.27 percent ahead so the Panthers would need to win reasonably comfortably to grab the minor premiership.
