LAST season’s grand finalists Marong and Pyramid Hill showed their premiership credentials with massive wins over Calivil and Mitiamo respectively on Saturday.
The Panthers, searching for their fourth flag on the trot, were much too strong for the Demons, even without co-coach Kain Robins leading the forward line.
An 18-point quarter-time lead stretched to 58 points at the main break, and 11 goals to two in the second half saw Marong home by 115 points, enough to head the ladder on percentage after three rounds.
Riley Walsh, Henry McCarthy and Jayden Leach were best for Calivil, while Lachlan Lee, Jai Gretgrix and Jack McCaig were named Marong’s best players.
The Panthers had 12 goal scorers on the day.
Pyramid Hill rebounded from its pre-Easter loss to Marong with a 98-point win over Mitiamo, which was built on a dominant second half.
The Bulldogs led by 36 points at half-time but kicked away with 11 goals to one for their big win.
Ruck-forward Kai Daniels was best for Pyramid Hill, kicking two goals along with his outstanding ruckwork.
Archie Hildebrandt also mixed ruck and forward time, and he kicked three goals. Ben Bisset kicked four to sit second on the league goalkicking list. Coach Luke Lougoon, Zach Morrison, Liam Shiell and Ryan Duncan were best for the Superoos.
Marong has a top-of-the-table clash with Bridgewater this Saturday, Mitiamo hosts Maiden Gully, Newbridge is at home to Inglewood, and Pyramid Hill travels to Serpentine, with Calivil having the bye.
