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.

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
