Goorambat’s bid for a 14th senior premiership lives on another week after a comprehensive 64-point win against Milawa on Saturday.
With both sides having a victory against each other, the scene was set for a hotly contested match at Tarrawingee Recreational Reserve.
From the start of the game, the Bats hit the ground running to be within a point of the Demons at the end of the first quarter.
Once the second term started, the game was as good as done as the Bats kicked seven goals to none to head into the change rooms with a 43-point lead.
A new half, a similar result as the Bats extended the lead to 53 by three-quarter-time.
A five-goal-to-three last quarter secured Bats a qualifying final match-up with Bright, who had a 40-point win over King Valley.
Best on a brilliant day for the Bats were Alex Moloney, who intercepted everything that came his way, along with Charles Hunter and Rhys Goodley, who kicked four goals each.
