A nine-goal, 59-point-to-nothing first quarter from the visiting Tigers had them in the box seat from the start of the contest, with Echuca United unable to get into the game.
At half-time the margin sat at 85, before a massive third term extended it to 135 in the Tigers’ favour.
The Cobram side continued working hard despite the scoreline, eventually running out 27.16 (178) to 4.3 (27) winners.
It was a great team performance from the visiting side, with Adam De Cicco, Harry Beasley, Tyron Baden, Ryan Mele, Darcy Pridham-McCormack and Tim Baker all named in the Tigers’ best.
The game was a significant one for Cobram’s Sam Gemmill, with Gemmill playing his 100th senior game for the club.
The win sees the Tigers remain undefeated after four games, with the club welcoming Rumbalara to Scott Oval on Saturday at 2pm.
Across the river, an inaccurate Barooga fell to a strong Mulwala side, 3.13 (31) to 14.11 (95).
The Hawks were competitive early, down by just 14 points at the quarter-time, however a 21-to-one-point second quarter saw Mulwala kick clear.
After half-time the game was all Mulwala, with the Lions running out convincing winners.
William Clarke, Cameron Johnston and Daniel Johnston were among the Hawks’ best, while Kyle Dunkley pulled on the hawks jumper for the first time after four games with the Northern Bullants VFL side.
It was a disappointing result for Barooga, with the side looking to bounce back after a big loss to Cobram and replicate its round two form that saw it almost knock off Tongala.
In round five Barooga will travel to Moama on Saturday to take on the Magpies at 2pm.
