Rochester may have flown on the radar in the opening month of the season, but it can no longer do so after impressive wins against Kyabram, Benalla and the Shepparton Swans.
The Tigers, under new coach James Flaherty, have been outstanding.
There were some new players that joined the club in the off-season with the new coach and they have all contributed to the sensational start to the year.
Steven Stroobants has been one of the newcomers that have taken to the competition like a duck to water.
Some would have been familiar with him when he played a handful of games with Stanhope, including the 2013 grand final loss.
He was a top quality player at VFL level and he has stepped it up in the GVL, which included an interleague call up.
Seymour has been striving for consistency all season.
The Lions have had some really good performances, but they have been equally as disappointing.
Both teams are likely to have a wait on some injured stars, with Heath Aiken knocked out in the win against the Swans while Tim Bongetti may have hurt his hamstring again.
