The Coffs Swans hit a new low after being unceremoniously thumped by the Saints at Fitzroy Oval.
It was one-way traffic from the outset as the undefeated Saints notched up ten goals in the opening quarter.
The Swans only points for the match came during this time, and they never threatened to trouble the scoreboard as they resorted to negative tactics to thwart the Saints scoreboard pressure.
While the flooding tactics slowed the Saints to an extent, the away side managed to find multiple avenues to goal, with Ben Hooke registering another double figure haul.
Luke Matthews and Simon Taylor had it all their own way in the midfield, while Mark Couzens was influential rotating between the centre and half forward.
The loss was a massive percentage hit for the Swans, and while they still cling to fourth spot, it is not a position they deserve if such performances continue.

North Coffs, without several regular starters, continued their winning momentum with an impressive 75-point victory away at Macksville Park.
The Kangaroos answered any questions over their goal kicking potential in the absence of Ben Sykes with a tidy performance in front of goal.
Ryan Turner stood up across half-forward and was a tower of strength for the winning side. Trent Cook returned from injury to impress deep in attack, and was a reliable ally for Turner, as was Craig Bertwistle in a small forward role.
The Lions again lacked a killer instinct as they were within striking distance heading into half-time. They simply fell flat in the second half, only managing to register a solitary goal compared to the Kangaroos’ nine.
The older heads of Josh Drum and Tom Campbell helped the North Coffs outfit dominate in the clinches as they got the better of their younger opponents, despite the best efforts of Monty Schmidt who was again the leading Lion in an otherwise disappointing end result.

It rained goals at Ellem Oval as a sharpshooting Magpies outfit proved too slick for the last-placed Grafton.
Among those who contributed to the accurate Port goalkicking was forward, Greg Conway who nailed eleven goals straight.
He was well supported by Jesse Schmidt and Matthew Lill who continued their strong seasons around the ground and on the scoreboard.
The Magpies always held the edge in the contest, as they raced to a six goal lead at half-time.
The procession continued in the final stages, albeit against a gallant, yet skill deficient Grafton side.
Damien Cameron was strong for the Tigers, but collectively, they were unable to match their Port counterparts around the park.
