The Saints were far too good throughout, keeping the Redeyes goalless in the first half while building a 56-point advantage, before going on with the job in the second.
The steely eyed Saints dominated the centre clearances with ruck weapon Adam Way winning the Sherrin at will to his clearance bulls in Jake Beams, Angus Coldwell and Harley Middleton.
Ted Walliss was again damaging up forward kicking a casual six goals and the backline were again strong with Grant Martin and Jack Robinson doing their thing.
The only downside for the day for Berrigan was Ben Irvine rupturing his spleen, and he had to be rushed to Melbourne for surgery.
For Blighty, Lachie MacDonald, Sam Singleton and Tanner Robertson worked hard for the side all game.
Final score, Berrigan 20.17 (137) to Blighty 3.4 (22).
Blighty playing-coach Jack Tyndall said his side’s first half was the worst he’s been involved in at the club.
‘‘Berrigan were pretty slick and showed us why they’re a top side this year,’’ he said.
‘‘We got plenty of the ball but every time we got it, we gave it straight back to them.
‘‘It all started in the rooms before the game. It was quiet and flat.
‘‘It kind of felt like everyone thought we were defeated before we even started.
‘‘The side we had against Katunga before the bye was completely different so there needs to be a change in attitude.
‘‘It’s disappointing because you see someone like TAB (Tyler Amor-Beale) — who is playing his first season of footy since about four years ago — in the rooms at the start of the seconds game to make sure he’s ready, while other blokes aren’t putting in as much effort.
‘‘TAB hasn’t had a bad game this year so we might need everyone else to take a leaf out of his book.’’
The Redeyes were always going to be up against it coming up against the Saints, with the latter winning their last seven games before the clash.
Adding to their woes Blighty were forced to make three late changes to the side, with Tom Billings, Dylan Maxwell and Tom Druitt all withdrawing from the game on Friday night.
‘‘They all had to pull out due to work, so we can’t really help that,’’ Tyndall said.
‘‘But it does make it hard on blokes like Sam Singleton and Leigh Culton who all were given more work load due to the outs.
‘‘We had reserves and thirds kids backing up from a full game beforehand and we had blokes who were underprepared for senior footy.’’
