Thomson has booked a berth in the GDFNL preliminary final after a comprehensive 60-point win over Werribee Centrals in the first semi-final at St Albans Reserve, 12.18 (90) to 3.12 (30).
After overcoming Bannockburn in last week’s elimination final, the Tigers were held scoreless in the opening quarter by the Centurions.
However, a 3.8 to 0.3 second quarter gave Thomson a 12-point half-time lead.
Centrals cut that margin to nine points at three-quarter time before the Tigers produced a stunning seven-goal final term to setup a “Battle of the Roundabout” preliminary final against East Geelong.

Veteran Jackson Macleod, who played in Thomson’s 2006 and 2008 premierships, kicked three goals.
Star forward Jacob Knight also kicked three goals and was among the Tigers’ best, along with defender Steve Salajan and captain Travis McGuire.
Bryce Linehan-Cunningham, Patrick Daley, and Bradley Carlton did all they could to keep the Centurions competitive.
