The Lions survived a scare on Saturday at Moon Oval against a gallant Rochester.
Rochester led for three quarters, but was unable to withstand a final-quarter onslaught from the visitors.
Trailing by one goal at the last break, Seymour was able to find another gear and chalked up a match-winning 16-3 quarter to pencil in a 47-35 triumph.
Rochester brought the fight to the ladder-leader in the first half, highlighted by a 14-10 second term.
