K Rock Football | Belmont Lions are one win away from their first grand final appearance since 2007 after an impressive second-half performance helped them to a 50-point qualifying final win over Werribee Centrals at St Albans Reserve.

Trailing by four points at half-time, the Lions slammed on 11 goals to two to book a second semi-final meeting with East Geelong.

The 16.10 (106) to 8.8 (56) victory was just the Lions’ third finals win since the GDFNL returned to a single division in 1996.

“I’m so proud of them,” co-coach Andy Walsgott said. “The whole game, I was proud of them, the way they applied themselves.

“They soaked up a lot of pressure in the first half, and we didn’t capitalise in the first half.

“I asked them to go again at half-time and keep doing those things I spoke about, and they delivered.

“I just said, ‘It (the game) will open up – we know it always opens up. It might open up for them. It might open up for us. We’ve got to stay present and keep doing the things we’ve been speaking about and keep cracking in’.
