It was 52-0 and the result, the Roos' unbeaten run this year, and the continued stranglehold on top spot on the Blowes Clothing Cup was assured.
But coaches Gus McDonald and Kieran Smith wanted more.
"Gus gave them a bit of a talking to at half-time," Smith said.
"We want to start practicing structure. We've only played four games this year because of byes, forfeits, and the snow so we wanted to practice game play.
"We've done a heap at training but that doesn't test you the same.
"We scored more points in the second half when we played with more structure so that was good going forward for when we could play Bulldogs and Emus in finals."

The final score was 106-0 and marked the second time the Roos had hit triple figures against a City side still well in the development stage.
LillyAnn Mason-Spice scored a stunning seven tries but for the coaches there was a whole lot more to the performance than a few single players stealing the headlines.
"Lill, Alahna (Ryan), and Janalee (Conroy) are real quality and have played at that higher level and are used to taking on feedback mid-game and applying it but the others have picked up a lot at training as well," Smith said.
"We've got good individuals but you don't win games with two or three players. Everyone is learning week-to-week.
"Those tries came from structure. We were punching forward and that opened space for her (Mason-Spice) to do what she does.
"We probably could have run through them because we've got some fast and steppy players but the fact so many tries came from good phase play is encouraging from a coach's point of view."
Ryan and Em Caton both scored doubles in the win, while Olivia Creswick, Lakeisha Hull, Jess Brown, Savannah Dimmock and Emma Stuart also crossed.
Conroy and Ryan landed seven and six conversions respectively.
This is recognition for the ones who were there last year because it would have been easy to walk and give it away.

The Roos are seven points clear at thew top heading into the final two rounds of the regular season.
But, frustratingly, the stop-start nature of the season will continue next weekend as they have the bye.
That will mean the side has played just twice since the start of August, leading Smith and McDonald to look at the possibility of a hit-out with the Tamworth Pirates next weekend to keep the side ticking over.
That continual improvement is the biggest driver of motivation within the side, and has been for Smith and many of the outer founding members after the Roos women first entered the competition at the start of last year.
The struggles suffered early not only prove how far the side has come but can also act as proof to a young City side that better times are ahead.
"We talked to City a little bit because they're building as well and while the scores might be a bit one-sided that's where we were last year," Smith said.
"We've had a few new players who make a big difference but just having 10 on the park every week is the biggest difference.
"This is recognition for the ones who were there last year because it would have been easy to walk and give it away so I'm pleased for them they're achieving success because they've stuck with it."
