As the pair celebrated their 200th and 100th games, a five-goal first quarter got the Dogs off to a flyer and they never looked back.
Daniel Berry (three) and Kaleb Thomas (two) were the multiple goalkickers as seven others, including the returning Bart McCulloch found the goals for the Dogs.
Dakota Bannister kicked his first five of the season and was the Tigers' best, while Jake Laskey took those honours for the visiting side.

Deloraine emerged victorious in the battle of the recent flag-winners, defeating Hillwood 16.11 (107) to 3.12 (36).
