Greenvale returned to the winners’ list by thumping Keilor in the Essendon District Football League Premier Division on Saturday.
The 15.14 (104) – 9.5 (59) result was a dominant display by the Jets, whose two losses this season have come against the top two sides.
The Jets led by 22 points at the first break, with Tom Hill kicking four goals in the opening quarter.
Hill, who went off on a stretcher in the loss to Pascoe Vale the week before, ended up with six for the game.
The Jets extended the lead to 51 points by three-quarter time, before the Blues got a minor win by outscoring them in the final quarter when the game was effectively over.
Matthew Smith was best on ground for the Jets, who remain third on the ladder.
Tullamarine came from behind in division 1 to beat Hillside 16.12 (108) – 9.10 (64).
The Demons were 27 points down at half-time after being scoreless in the second quarter.
But from then on they kicked 13 goals to two to run out easy winners.
Ryan Pretty was again the target down forward with five goals, while Russell Laurie was best afield in his 300th game for the club.
The Demons are third on the ladder with four wins and two losses.
In division 2, Roxburgh Park faded in the last quarter to lose to Hadfield.
The Magpies led at each of the breaks against the unbeaten Hawks but kicked only one in the last quarter to lose 18.7 (115) – 15.9 (99).
Jacana suffered its second straight loss, 17.12 (114) – 12.6 (78) against Moonee Valley.
The Jaguars made a slow start and trailed by 22 points at the first break.
They hit the front by half-time but were left to rue kicking only one goal in the third quarter as Moonee Valley regained the lead.
The Magpies sit fourth on the ladder and Jaguars fifth after the weekend’s results.
