The Saints will enter their second bye – courtesy of their home-town’s annual Irish festival – with three straight wins to their name.
The Kasey Owen-coached outfit toppled South Warrnambool on Saturday, winning 50-39.
A seven-goal quarter-time buffer proved the difference.
Nell Mitchell was again prolific in goals, sinking 39 of the Saints’ tally.
Camperdown accounted for Terang Mortlake 43-25 to respond from its round one loss to Koroit.
The Magpies’ 16-5 opening term snuffed out any chance of a Bloods upset.
The 2016 beaten grand finalist’s defence held firm in the second term, restricting the Bloods to three goals.
Portland will chase its first win of the season when it meets Hamilton Kangaroos in the Anzac Day clash at Melville Oval on Tuesday.
The Tigers fell to Cobden in round one, while the revitalised Kangaroos hopped over Port Fairy.
The open grade match starts at 3.30pm to accommodate Anzac Day services.
