Heaping the hurt onto Mooroopna’s dreary season to date, the Bulldogs were resolute in defence and ruthless in front of goals during the 10.13 (73) to 1.1 (7) rout.
The Cats looked poised to pose a challenge early as Shantelle Bentley converted her first of the campaign, and only trailing by two goals at the first quarter, anything seemed possible.
Then Tatura kicked into gear.
Eimer Draper (four goals) was immense, as was Amy-Lee Tatt and Kyia Samkakai who slotted two each as the Bulldogs had the scoreboard going bonkers as time ticked on.
However, Sarah Green's performance was judged to be the most influential for Tatura.
Elsewhere, Benalla was on the wrong end of one-way traffic during its round seven clash.
Facing competition heavyweight Nathalia in the Moira Shire, the Saints’ defence had the workout of its life as the Purples throttled the visitors 16.14 (110) to 0.2 (2).
With a fortnight marking the distance between its last competitive outing, Benalla simply couldn’t match the initial pace set by Nathalia.
Coming off a 125-point rolling of Mooroopna in round six, the Purples started how they had finished the week before by shooting out to a five-goal buffer by quarter-time.
And the onslaught didn’t stop there.
Abby Favaro starred with six majors as the hosts split the sticks on 11 occasions throughout the game’s remainder.
Tayla Dempster, Cody Power, Tegan Sutton and Ellen Pinnuck also chipped in with a pair each.
For the Saints, Phoebe Clarke was the best contributor, while Charlene Kupke displayed plenty of heart.
