McKinnell impacted the scoreboard early, including kicking five in the first half, as the Northern Bombers piled on 23 goals from 36 shots at Invermay Park on Sunday.
Key tall Sarah Radford played accomplice to the full forward with her four goals and provided quality ball-use to her midfielders alongside fellow ruck Sophie Townsend who also chipped in with three goals.
Maggie Cuthbertson once again produced highlights including a running goal from the UTAS Stadium pocket and showed her class alongside Jodie Clifford and Tasmania Devils duo Ella Maurer and Hayley Breward.
Returning to the side from Devils duty, Breward was impressed with the side's growth over her time away from the group.
"It was a really good game, we moved the ball really well and hit up a few good targets especially with Macca in our forward line so that was really good for us," she said.
"There's been a massive growth just by training hard and competing against the stronger teams and I think just watching us today you can tell we've improved and when we come up against the bigger sides, I think we can put up a good fight."
Lauderdale's Claire McManus showed both leadership and grit throughout the contest alongside Charlotte Kenny and a valiant Chloe Stewart who persevered on McKinnell.
LAUNCESTON maintained their undefeated streak as they were slightly pushed once again by Glenorchy in a 13.9 (87) to 5.4 (34) victory.
With their midfielders dominating play and allowing their forward line to run rampant, North Melbourne AFLW star Daria Bannister kicked four and Brie Rattray three, but it was the returning Mia King and debutant Kelsie Hill that impressed coach Ange Dickson in the performance.
"Mia's ability to win midfield ball is fantastic and she showed why she's in the Allies squad for the under-18s," Dickson said.
"Kelsie Hill was great in her first game at 16 years of age and she didn't look out of place as she applied tacking pressure and even picked up a goal."
Gennaveve Sullivan and Macklyn Sutcliffe impressed for Glenorchy.
