Eagles look for revenge on Lions

EAST Geelong are set to host Belmont in a top of the table face off tomorrow (Saturday, August 2), as the GDFL heads into the final month of the home and away season.

The second-placed Eagles had an unexpected loss against the eighth-placed Werribee Centrals in Round 14, and now must win to hang on to the double chance. They are now only percentage above North Geelong.

Meanwhile, the Lions won controversially against Bell Post Hill – a decision later overturned by the league – and now sit atop the ladder by one game.

The two last faced off in Round 4, when Belmont hung on to win by seven points in a tight matchup.

Thomson and Bell Post Hill will face off in another crucial clash. The Tigers were upset by Anakie in Round 14 and are now fourth.

Meanwhile, after the Panthers’ loss to Belmont, they now must win to remain in check with the top five, as they are just percentage behind the fifth-placed Inverleigh.

The fifth-placed Hawks will host Werribee Centrals tomorrow, coming off an upset against third-placed North Geelong. A win can solidify their finals spot in the finals, but the Centrals will be confident after defeating East Geelong.

Anakie can keep its slim top five hopes alive as it hosts 10th-placed Winchelsea.

Corio will take on the Magpies, who are looking to get back on track after two losses from their past three games.

Geelong West will take on Bannockburn at West Oval. The Giants lost to the Blues in Round 14, while the Tigers won against the Devils.
