A commanding round 12 win over a side in a similar predicament is just what the doctor ordered for Harry Haley’s Hoppers, who had not tasted victory since round eight.
Forward talisman and 2021 best-and-fairest Strawhorn led from the front at Rennie Recreation Reserve with class support from Jack Cooke and Tom McKimmie.
The Bloods’ sixth straight loss has the side slip to 12th on the Picola District Football League ladder.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Katamatite leapt into fifth after getting the job done over Berrigan, dumping the Saints from the top six.
Jedd Wright’s side secured a vital 13.16 (94) to 10.10 (70) win, with Wright’s brother Sam spearheading the Tigers’ scoring by booting six goals.
Ben Bray and Dion Gleeson were among Katamatite’s key contributors.
Katandra has secured an all-important victory over fellow top-six competitor Katunga, the Kats getting up 13.16 (94) to 12.8 (80) at home.
Katandra’s Luke Smith continued his fine season with a six-goal haul, while Trent Herbert and Mitchell Black kicked three apiece.
Deniliquin Rovers picked up a handy 20.14 (134) to 6.8 (44) victory over Blighty to clinch their fourth win of the season.
Terry Lumbar and Nicholas Sheldon kept the scoreboard ticking over for the Rovers with 11 goals between them.
Meanwhile, Waaia and Tungamah continued their unbeaten campaigns with respective victories over Picola United and Mathoura.
Jesse Trower was on target with six majors in the Bombers’ 16.15 (111) to 5.5 (35) dismantling of United, while Tungamah was simply too strong for the Timbercutters in a 266-point drubbing.
