The Bulldogs came out all guns blazing to annihilate the undermanned Kyneton at Gardiner Reserve on Saturday.

It was one-way traffic.

Callan Potter, Darren Farrugia and Jason Treloar had a picnic in front of the big sticks as the home side ran riot to win by 144 points.

The scoreboard told the story: 27.16 (178) to 5.4 (34).

Elliott made sure his players hit the ground running in the wake of their shock loss to Castlemaine in one of the boilovers of the season in the previous round.

Not surprisingly, Gisborne had winners all over the ground with Stewart Hamilton, Potter, Treloar, Farrugia, Ollie Messaoudi and Shaun Comerford leading the way.

It's an exciting time for hard-at-it ball magnet Messaoudi, who is celebrating his selection in the Victorian Country Football League's representative squad for the big game against the Victorian Amateur Football Association at the Junction Oval on Sunday, July 19.

The one-time Calder Cannons Under-18 TAC Cup player had the honour of captaining the Bendigo Football League to victory over the Ballarat Football League several weeks ago.

First-year recruit Potter kicked seven goals in an eye-catching display and shapes as a key player in the side's hopes of grabbing the ultimate glory.

Farrugia and Treloar chimed in with five and four goals respectively.

The Bulldogs blew the game apart in the second quarter, piling on 8.4 to 1.1 to open up a commanding lead at half-time.

It was a day to forget for the Tigers, who battled for winners.

William Gunter, Ben Edmonds, Michael Cummings, Luke Said, Zackary Boyer and Leigh Picioane battled hard for the likely wooden spooners.

Gisborne plays the struggling Maryborough at Princes Park this Saturday.

Another big win for the Bulldogs is the likely result.

Kyneton will fancy its chances of beating Castlemaine at the Kyneton Showgrounds this Saturday.

The ladder after 10 rounds is: Golden Square (36 points), South Bendigo (32), Gisborne (32), Kangaroo Flat (24), Eaglehawk (20), Sandhurst (20), Castlemaine (12), Strathfieldsaye (12), Maryborough (8), Kyneton (4).
