The Lions were quick to start kicking three goals to one in the first quarter.
The Eagles fought back hard to trail by just four points at half time and wrestled their way to a three point lead at the final change.
But a single last quarter goal to the Lions handed HBL a low-scoring 5.6.36 to 4.10.34 victory.
Braddon Kazakoff and Jay Walton kicked two goals each for HBL while Adam Bignell was Collie’s best-on-ground adding two goals.
Sunday brought with it a shock result with the Harvey Bulls recovering from a slow start to upset the previously undefeated South Bunbury Tigers.
The Tigers put 3.7 on the board in the first quarter while the Bulls managed just three behinds.
It looked like South Bunbury were set to keep on doing what they do best but with the wind in their favour the Bulls nailed five second-quarter goals to lead by five points at the main break.
Things did not improve for the Tigers in the third, adding a single point to their total while the Bulls added two more goals.
Seven goals between the two sides in the final term saw the Bulls win 11.10.76 to 7.10.52.
Issac Baum and Joshua Krispyn kicked two for the Bulls while David Faulkner, Reece Blechynden, Jacob Pickett, Joseph Versaci, Mark Cherubino, Nick Carney and Rodney Shemeld each kicked one.
Jon Meadmore, Dylan Harper and Jaxon Bell were best for the visitors.
Five goals to Dylan Ramsay led Eaton to a commanding win over Augusta-Margaret River.
The Boomers kicked six goals to one in the second quarter to lead by 37 points at half time.
A healthy contribution of three goals from Stephen Kane and two each from Chris Atthowe, Jace Cormack and Michael Russell led Eaton to their first win of 2016 17.11.113 to 8.5.53.
Jack Hick kicked three goals for the Hawks while Nick Derickx kicked two.
Bunbury continued their rebuild to dominance with a commanding win over Donnybrook.
The Bulldogs made the Dons pay for a lack of firepower in the first half kicking 7.7 while restricting the Dons to just two points.
The Dons managed to curb the deficit a little in the third but found the young Bunbury side too fast around the ground.
The time invested into younger Bulldogs last year is starting to pay dividends as they claimed a 11.13.79 to 5.6.36 victory.
Braiden McMullen kicked four goals for the home side while Kris Clarkson kicked two for the visitors.
Busselton ended the round with their second win of the year, beating Carey Park by 25 points.
The Magpies held a 10 point advantage at half time and extended the lead to 17 points at the final change.
In the end Busselton prevailed 9.14.68 to 6.7.43 with Daniel Glover kicking three goals and Aidan Fraser kicking two.
