BONNIE Doon has shot to the top of the ladder for the first time in its seven-year history in the Ovens and King after notching up its 12th straight victory on Saturday.
The Bombers had a fight on their hands at home against Bright, but, much like the previous weekend against Tarrawingee, a big third quarter was enough to seal the deal in the end.
Trailing by one point at the long break, Bonnie Doon flicked the switch in the third term, piling on 6.4 to 2.3 to establish a match-winning four-goal buffer.
Nick Trenfield, patrolling halfback, Kaine Herbert and Matt Swindells in the middle, and Shannon Galea with six goals in attack were pivotal for the Bombers in what was eventually a 33-point win over the Mountain Men.
Bright, already missing its two best players in Ben Bond (ankle) and Tom Buckley (glute), lost Sean McGregor to a groin strain before halftime.
