Brodie White was impressive up forward for the hosts with four goals for the day, while Ben Fynch was robust in defence.
For Avondale Heights, they slip down to sixth position on the ladder after their second defeat of the year.
Their second quarter lapse will no doubt be the focus of attention throughout the upcoming week as they look to keep in touch with the top end of the ladder.
Jack Murphy and Jamie Starzer kicked eight out of the Heights' 13 goals themselves, with the forwards kkicking four majors apiece.

However, the first quarter was just about where it ended for the Lions, as Tullamarine appeared to wake up and slowly kick into gear to rein in the deficit.
The Dees couldn’t capitalise on a dominant second quarter though as they registered 1.5 for the term to remain behind by eight points at half time.
They finally hit the scoreboard with five goals to two in the premiership quarter, before putting on another impressive display in the last to run away as an inaccurate five-goal winner.
Vice-captain Salvatore Melilli produced his best game for the season with three goals and plenty of the football, while young gun Sam Lazarevski was also a strong performer.
On the other side of the ledger, Taylors Lakes has sunk to 1-4 to start 2026 in what’s been a disappointing opening five weeks.
They just haven’t looked as sharp as they did last year, with a win a next week now an absolute necessity for the Lions.

The win sees the sizzling Moonee Valley move to 4-1, while Rupertswood remain winless at 0-5.
In a seesawing first half, the Valley kicked seven out of the first eight goals of the game before Rupo came storming back with five unanswered of their own to finish the half.
With an exciting second half looming, the Valley held a slender nine-point lead at the main break.
To the frustration of Rupo onlookers, the Valley took control of the game in the second half, booting 10 goals to six on their way to a fourth win in a matter of five weeks.
While for Rupertswood, it’s another case of a solid performance without taking home the four points.
They’ll need to tick off a win or two soon if they want to remain in touch with the top five heading into the second half of the season.
With an abundance of strong performers, Richard Potter hit the scoreboard for Moonee Valley with four majors, while gun recruit Mitch Clarke continues to impress after another three goals here.
For Rupertswood, Net Crotty battled hard in what was ultimately a disappointing result.
