The Cannons kicked nine first-quarter goals and never looked back on the way to a 21.15 (141) to 10.6 (66) victory.

The win strengthens the reigning TAC Cup premier's hold on a finals position, still seventh on the ladder but now with a two-game cushion from eighth place.

Calder has 24 points, behind four teams on 32 and ahead of eighth-placed Gippsland Power, ninth-placed North Ballarat Rebels and 10th-placed Eastern Rangers all on 16 points.

St Bernards' Jordan Schroder was the busiest Cannon with five majors as he was named first best.

Fellow Snowdog Tom Sullivan bagged three goals while Greenvale duo Ozgur Uysal and Tallan Wright kicked two goals each as did Seymour's Brandyn Grenfell and Aberfeldie pair Alistair Kefford and Alexander McLeod.

Calder kept the goals coming after the first-quarter onslaught, albeit losing the second term to Greater Western Sydney by a solitary point.

The future AFL franchise has two wins so far this season and was best served by Riverview's Adam Flagg. Schroder and McLeod were Calder's best along with Sullivan, Kefford, Rupertswood's Dylan Murphy and Aberfeldie's Ned Daniher.

The Cannons take on the North Ballarat Rebels

at Highgate Recreation Reserve, Craigieburn, on Sunday at 1pm.
