Clifford-sized underdogs heading into the match at 1-13, the Roos were hot from the get-go and led for virtually the whole game to win 15.11 (101) to 12.7 (79).
Chris Nield was the game's dominant forward, finishing with five majors, while Alex Saunders (four goals) was Lauderdale's silver lining.
Ryan Bailey crucially won the ruck battle against star Lauderdale big man Hadyn Smith, while Jake Cox was stellar in his first game back from injury.
The win saw the Roos jump out of last spot and weakened Lauderdaule's grip on top.
Elsewhere, North Hobart's win over Launceston was a distant memory as Kingborough cruised to a 18.13 (121) to 7.6 (48) at home.
The Demons led at quarter time but kicked just four goals thereafter as Michael Paul slotted a season-high bag of five.
