The visitors were strong favourites at Kyabram Recreation Reserve, and immediately showed why by racing out to a 12-2 lead after just seven minutes.
The Bombers fared better towards the end of the first period and trailed 24-10 heading into the second, which was a solid effort when judged against their usual starts so far this season.
Shepparton’s run of seven straight goals to open the second quarter ensured there would be no miraculous comeback for Ky, as the Swans’ lead reached 25 by the 24th minute.
After an 18-7 second period had the away side up 42-17 at half-time, it doubled down with strong outputs at both ends across the third and fourth quarters.
Ky was held to just four goals in the third and 10 total for the second half.
Shepparton ramped up its defensive effort and produced in attack, with a quarterly best 27 goals in the fourth, culminating in a dominant 87-27 victory.
The Bombers’ total was still an improvement on the previous four weeks, where they failed to reach 20.
Jazmin Clark accounted for 11 of the 27 goals, while Ky’s second-highest scorer was A-grade debutant Ella Hooper, who netted seven.
The club named midcourt player Shinae McGown as best-on via its Facebook page, while player-coach Emma Quinn also celebrated an accolade, the Swans meeting being her 100th in the GVL.
Kyabram travels to Rochester next, the Tigers having lost their last four matches.
