Red Hill is, well, red hot.

The Hillmen recorded their third successive 100-point plus demolition on Saturday, taking the cane to Brendan Fevola’s Hastings, 18.17 (125) to 2.5 (17), in MPNFL Division 2.

Fev kicked one goal, but the ball was rarely down his end as Red Hill ran rampant.

“The brand we are playing is sensational at the moment,’’ Red Hill coach Jamie Mollo said.

“The boys have really connected well, there’s a lot of synergy between all the lines with all the new players now and the results showed yesterday.

“We had a plan for Fevola and (Todd) Elton. We played Dan Frampton, an 18-year-old kid, on Elton and Dan pretty much held him all day.’’

Mollo said Red Hill’s midfield of Jake Mold, Josh Mold, James Fletcher, Harry Wynn-Pope and Chris Irving was outstanding.

“They tore them apart both ways. It was a dominant performance,’’ he said.

Red Hill’s side included three VFL-listed players — James Fletcher, who is in Richmond’s leadership group, Jonah Siversen (Bulldogs) and Frampton (Geelong). Fletcher booted three goals.

Mollo doubted complacency would slow his side.

“We’ve already got the video up from yesterday for the boys to start thinking about Rye next week,’’ he said.

“It’s a great side to coach because they just do as we tell them and they understand if they work to how we want them to work they will win games of footy. And three 100 point wins, as a senior coach, you couldn’t be happier.’’

Somerville’s Paul Fermanis with the ball.

Karingal dedicated its win over Somerville to former Bulls favourite son Cam McLeod, who died last week after battling cancer.

McLeod was a dual Karingal premiership player, Team of the Century member and also won a club best and fairest award when he was in Year 11.

Karingal continued its undefeated winning streak with a 42-point win over Somerville, 14.11 (95) to 6.17 (53).

Marc Holt fired off six goals, while ruckman Grant Goodall was named best on ground after a dominant display. Andy McInnes, Brandon Wapshott, Dylan Gregson and Michael Burke were also prominent.

Todd Gardiner was awarded the Anzac Medal after helping Chelsea beat Crib Point 13.14 (92) to 5.8 (38) and bank its first win of the season.

Seagulls key forward Kieran Albanese dominated the game early, slotting three goals, as the home side rushed to a 37-1 quarter-time lead.

Gardiner capped a best-on-ground display with four majors. Shaun Foster also impressed, picking up possessions at will. Crib Point didn’t give in, with under 19 player Tom Panich providing plenty of run in his first senior game for the season.

Aaron Walton booted five goals as Seaford thrashed Pearcedale 20.15 (135) to 7.11 (53) to make it three wins from four games. Matt Terech was superb as the Tigers took control with a seven-goal-to-one third quarter. Joel Filippone and Bryce Lloyd also impressed, and Seaford had plenty of avenues to goal, with Sam Lonie (three goals), Kayle Henderson (two), Curtis Barker (two) and Nick Braund (two) lively. For Pearcedale, Max Gearon and Jack McGuiness tried hard.

Devon Meadows player Tim Saunders.

Rye improved its record to 3-2 with a stirring 20-point win over Devon Meadows at Glover Reserve. Tyrren Head was best on ground as the Demons led throughout to win 12.17 (89) to 10.9 (69) in what coach Adam Kirkwood labelled his side’s most consistent four quarter effort of the season. “We were just inaccurate around goal,’’ Kirkwood said.

Matt McIndoe and Will Cooper were also good for Rye, while Harry Whitty and Tom Baker (four goals) are starting to hit some form coming back from injury.

Matt Naughton, Michael Parker and Matt Peynenborg (three goals) underpinned Langwarrin’s 46-point win over Tyabb, 14.17 (101) to 7.13 (55). Tim McGenniss, Nick Hammill and Matt Stephens were also in Langy’s best. For Tyabb, Will Hose (son of 200-gamer Darren, nephew of club multiple B&F winner Matt and grandson of club legend Neil) kicked two goals in his first senior game.
