Geelong are marching towards the AFLW finals after all but extinguishing Essendon's faint top-eight hopes with a 15-point win over the Bombers in Warrnambool.
Cats forward Chloe Scheer kicked three goals, including two at the start of a final-term burst, as Geelong withstood a Maddy Prespakis midfield masterclass to prevail 6.7 (43) to 4.4 (28).
