Travelling to Lauderdale for the first time this season, the Northern Bombers blew their Southern counterparts away with a 13.16 (94) to 0.1 (1) win.

Powerful forward Emily McKinnell followed up her eight-goal showing in their round seven match-up with six of her own.

Meanwhile, Maggie Cuthbertson's return from concussion continued smoothly with three goals alongside Bonnie Farrell.

As Sophie Townsend, Hayley Breward, Kara Hennessy and Mya Slatter impressed coach Dean Smith, the Bombers' front man praised his leaders.

"Our leaders really stood up when it counted and the team needed them to show them the way and it all clicked in the last quarter," he said.

Launceston overcame a slow start by their lofty standards to see off closest rivals Glenorchy in a 9.9 (63) to 2.1 (13) win at Windsor Park.

Competition-leading goal-kicker Brie Rattray continued her form for the undefeated side, booting three majors in the victory as Dearne Taylor, Meg Sinclair and Chloe Haines all chipped in with two apiece.

Chanette Thuringer put in yet another stunning performance for the Blues off half-back with Taylor, Jennifer Guy and captain Ashlee Carey also getting among the votes.

Renowned centre half-forward Nietta Lynch kicked the Magpies' opening goal with Sarah Skinner following in her footsteps in the third quarter.

Hannah Smith showed promise off the half-back line as 2018 grand final best-on-ground winner Macklyn Sutcliffe also stood up in defence.

Clarence defeated Tigers by seven points in the round's Southern derby.
