EAST Geelong can lock in the minor seniors premiership with a win against Inverleigh this weekend in a busy final round of the GDFL.<\/p>\n
The Eagles have won three in a row and their strong percentage means a victory over Inverleigh sews up the top spot regardless of other results. It would be their third minor premiership in four years.<\/p>\n
However, the sixth-placed Hawks need to win and rely on other sides to sneak into the top five.<\/p>\n
An upset victory will see Inverleigh feature in their first finals series since 2023.<\/p>\n
Bell Post Hill are finals-bound after finishing ninth last year, and face the last-placed Corio at home to round out the home and away season.<\/p>\n
While unlikely, a huge percentage-boosting win and a North Geelong loss could see the Panthers jump into third.<\/p>\n
After winning four in a row, Anakie are into the top five and take on the eighth-placed Werribee Centrals at Galvin Park. If the Roos win this weekend, they will all but lock in a drought-breaking finals appearance.<\/p>\n
North Geelong will host Winchelsea, who have won four of the past five. If the Blues can take another scalp, the third-placed Magpies could lose their double chance.<\/p>\n
Bannockburn take on Thomson, whose finals hopes hang by a thread, at Victoria Park. The reigning premiers simply must win convincingly and rely on other results to take fifth spot.<\/p>\n
Second-placed Belmont will host Geelong West at Winsor Reserve, with top spot still within their sights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
