The Lions came out eager to continue their strong form with finals just around the quarter and they did not disappoint.

Seven first quarter goals set the game up for Seymour, doing well to keep Tatura scoreless for the entirety of the first half.

Following the main break the Lions let their foot off the gas but were still able to emerge with a solid 106 point win ahead of a tough test against Shepp Bears coming this weekend.

Taiten Thomas was a livewire up forward, taking some strong marks and combining well with Dale Short as both finished with four majors to their names.

Joel Durham kept up his big effort in the ruck with another consistent performance, working with Curtis Powell and Cooper Lubeck through the middle of the ground.

The win means the Lions will finish in fourth spot following the final game of the home and away season.


Best: T Thomas, J Durham, C Powell, D Short, C Lubeck

Goals: D Short 4, T Thomas 4, J Davey 3, C Lubeck 3, C Osmond 2, D Davis 1, J Mann 1

Seymour 22.19.151 def Tatura 6.2.38


After a big win last week over United, the Lions were looking to repeat the feat against Tatura and were able to come away with a 113 point win.

Some inaccurate kicking in the first quarter saw the Lions fail to capitalise on all the play but they were able to make amends in the final three quarters of the game, kicking seven, five and seven goals to round out a great performance.

Riley Mason showed yet again why he’s the best player in the competition with a dominant performance including nine goals. The tally could’ve been much higher if not for some unselfish play throughout the game.

The midfield group dominated around stoppages with Nathan Beattie, Jack Peris and Jack Murphy all in the best alongside Dylan Cook who reinvented himself as a tap ruckman.

Other highlights of the day included great debut performances from Jackson Mansfield and Ben McCarthy. Mansfield was a strong target up forward all day with three majors, while McCarthy was busy around the ground and managed to get a goal of his own on the board.



Best: R Mason, N Beattie, J Peris, D Cook, J Murphy

Goals: R Mason 9, J Mansfield 3, J Murphy 3, L Lubeck 2, N Beattie 1, D Giles 1, B McCarthy 1, J Peris 1, R Schraven 1

By Mitch Itter June 22, 2026
The Seymour Football Netball Club (SFNC) will celebrate a significant milestone this weekend, with Senior Co-Coach and Captain Jack Murphy set to play his 150th senior game for the Lions. Since making his senior debut in 2015, Murphy has established himself as one of the premier players in the Goulburn Valley League. Over the past decade, Murphy has built an outstanding football resume. A dual Senior Best & Fairest winner, GVL Interleague representative, League MVP and former Coburg VFL player, he has consistently performed at an elite level while representing the Lions with distinction. While his individual achievements are impressive, Murphy's influence extends far beyond the football field. Renowned for his professionalism, work ethic and commitment to the club, he has played a significant role in driving standards and helping develop the next generation of Lions players. Now serving as Senior Co-Coach, Murphy continues to lead from the front each week and remains one of the competition's most influential midfielders. SFNC President Peter Elliott said Murphy's contribution to the Lions over the past 11 seasons has been remarkable. “Murph has been an outstanding servant of our football club and thoroughly deserves this recognition,” Mr Elliott said. “His achievements on the field are exceptional, but it's the way he goes about it that sets him apart. “He's one of the hardest workers at the club, a fantastic leader and someone who is so passionate about the success of the Seymour Lions. “He's represented our club with distinction throughout his career and continues to set the standard both as a player and coach. “To reach 150 senior games is a fantastic achievement and one that both Murph and everyone associated with the club should be proud of. “We're incredibly fortunate to have had Murph at Seymour for so long and look forward to seeing him continue to make an impact in the years ahead.”
