North Footscray has laid down the challenge to the rest of the Western Region Football League division 2.
The Devils are the outright premiership favourites after pummelling Yarraville-Seddon Eagles by 50 points in the top of the table clash at Hansen Reserve on Saturday.
They remain the only undefeated side after four rounds and moved a game and percentage clear on top.
North Footscray kick-started its engine with a seven goals to two opening term and never looked back.
Kieran Murphy wrapped up best-on-ground honours with five goals, while Jason Butty (four goals), Tyren Montebruno (four) and Sam Crea (three) had the goal umpires on their toes.
It was a disappointing day for Yarraville-Seddon, but they fought it out to win the last quarter.
Jack Hargreaves posed a threat in the forward line with four goals, while Scott Miller added three.
Yarraville-Seddon is still the most credible threat to North Footscray, sitting second on the ladder and already a decent sized gap on the other four sides in the six-team competition.
Newport Power trailed Albanvale by 30 points at three-quarter time at Bryan Martyn Oval, but kicked 4.4 to 0.1 to almost snatch victory, falling short of a miraculous comeback by three points.
In division 1, Spotswood is a perfect six from six after staving off a challenge from St Albans to win by 42 points.
The top-of-the-ladder Woodsmen showed the Saints who is boss with a five-goal-to-one opening term.
The Saints never went away, but Spotswood had too much firepower, led by Lachlan Fairley, who kicked five goals to take his season tally to 24 in six games.
Altona carved out a solid 27-point win over newly promoted Caroline Springs at Town Centre Oval.
Vikings forward Mitch Turnbull proved the difference between the two sides with seven goals.
In division 3, Laverton has broken its drought with a 12-point win over Braybrook at Laverton Park Reserve.
The Magpies led at all changes on the back of starring performances from Lachlan Chapman, Sam Young and Luke Freake.
Parkside annihilated Sanctuary Lakes by 142 points in a game that Jason Cloke booted 12 goals.
