Yarraville Seddon is knocking on the door of the Western Region Football League division 2 top four after a 95-point smashing of West Footscray at the Yarraville Oval on Saturday.
Boom recruit Andrejs Everitt showed off his quality with six goals as the Eagles led at every change en route to a runaway victory.
Jack Collins, Josh Crofton and Matthew Taylor were the standouts for the Eagles, while Jesse Varsamakis and James Backway kicked three goals apiece.
The Eagles are 2-2 and one win outside the top four.
It was a tough day for West Footscray, which remains winless and on the bottom of the ladder.
Darcy McCallum and Tobi Bray were the Roosters’ only multiple goalkickers with two apiece.
Yarraville Seddon will host Parkside on Saturday, while West Footscray will be out to break its duck when it entertains Manor Lakes.
