The Blues started strong and didn't let the Saints in with a sniff, kicking four goals in the first before backing it up at that end in the third with five more.
Captain Cam Fraser, Luke Wheldon and Joey Cullen all kicked two as Alex Sciulli starred while Josh Bellchambers' two shone for St Pats alongside the returning Phil Dikkenberg.
Lilydale's streak of winning at home since 2018 continued, accounting for East Coast 14.12 (96) to 7.10 (52).
The Swans were almost outscored by defender-turned-forward Trent Griggs, who booted seven to turn his accuracy woes around, while his former workmate Sam Lockett was the Demons' best as Billy Tuckerman and Sonny Whiting also got among the goals.
Cameron Upton and Ethan Goldfinch kicked two each for the Swans as Adam Marland and Toby Omenihu toiled hard.
Thirteen may be unlucky for some, but it was certainly a lucky number for Bridport's Matthew Taylor who had a day out in front of goals as the Seagulls defeated UTAS 30.14 (194) to 4.3 (27).
He combined with Cody Kerrison for 21 of the home side's 30 goals to kickstart the night for the club's premiership reunions as the pair were named best on ground ahead of Jack Deacon.
The Lions were able to boot a goal in each quarter as Aaron Taylor, Ben Arnold, John Morgan and Liam Guardia found the big sticks with the latter and Hamish Lockett named the side's best.
Old Scotch piled on 40 shots at goal but struggled for accuracy as it accounted for Perth 26.24 (180) to 4.9 (33).
Nine of the side's 22 were able to register majors, led by Ricky Evans' six, Will Harper and Charlie Eastoe's four and Josh Matthews and Stephen Blizzard's three, with a nine-goal second quarter the highlight.
That came after 4.7 in the first, turning things around and putting the game beyond reasonable doubt early doors as John McKenzie, Evans and Brinley Duggan were the strongest.
Jake Smith booted two and was Perth's best, followed by Nathan Croft and Corey Rhodes.
Evandale and Meander Valley had a bye.
