CHFL round 2: Watch the replay of the Springbank v Bungaree clash here

Springbank produced a complete performance to demolish a hapless Bungaree by 79 points in the CHFL at Wallace on Saturday.

Bungaree could see the game unravelling before them as early as the opening quarter, but was powerless to stop the rampaging Tigers, which controlled every facet of play to run away 18.12 (120) to 6.5 (41).

Springbank's midfield, led by ruckman Pat Glanford and the run of Kieran and Joel Maher, James Thompson and Todd Finco, provided the spark with dominance at stoppages and tall forwards Zak Bozanich and Stephen Staunton set the tone in attack.

Bozanich kicked all Springbank's four goals in the first term, going on to finish with seven, and Staunton marked strongly to provide an unstoppable pathway to goal before booting two of his own.

Once Bungaree was basically out of touch - trailing by 35 points at half-time and 63 at the last change, it was left to the Springbank's small forwards led by Connor Parkin (five goals) to finish the job.

First-year coach Andrew Challis said the Tigers' ability to control the contests had been the foundation of victory - Springbank's second of the season in as many games.

"I said to the boys that contested football would be the number one key indicator we needed to win. I think the boys were fantastic. We're running a different rotation, but they've really taken it on.

"I was really impressed with the ball movement, the run and carry."

Challis said from there they were able to isolate their forwards.

He said to complement this, an area of improvement had been getting "front and centre".

A disappointed Bungaree coach Ryan Waight said Springbank had shown themselves to be a class outfit.

'Their mids got on top early, their skills were better than us, their outside work was better than us and their big forwards kicked goals and our's didn't.

"They won all across the ground. We didn't have many areas where we even broke even."
