That’s 10 victories in a row, still six games out from finals that Tuohy feels the thought has delivered complacency.

Strugglers Devon remains one of three bottom-placed teams to have won just three times alongside the 24 losses.

“When we’re not always challenged, it can be very easy to take your foot off, go through the motions and not push ourselves,” Tuohy said.

“We really should have put on a clinic when we play these sort of teams and we don’t always do that.

“I do think I get very disappointed with the girls at times and they’re like we had a really good win, but I want to see them nailing it.

“We know things aren’t going to be easy come finals because we’ve had two years of disappointing finals where we haven’t got the outcome.”

Northern Hawks were also never in danger, in front by 10 goals at quarter-time, 21 at half-time but only stretching the lead by one into the last.

But midcourters Ashton Whiley and Steph Walker attempted to lift their charges.

“I don’t think we were as consistent as we could have been all day,” Tuohy said.

“But we did have some really great passages of play, which we managed to put some great connections together and turn some balls.”

Ashlea Mawer piled on 62 goals at nearly 90 per cent, but versatile Zoe Claridge for the second straight game was the standout Hawk.

She played the perfect conduit between the Mawer sisters, but also lifted the goal attack’s role inside the shooting circle to score 24 goals.

“Normally our goal attacks will score 10 to 15 goals maximum, so it was nice to see a lot more goals put up and not rely on Ashlea,” Tuohy said.
