They nailed another seven goals in the third term and eight in the final quarter.
Roos captain Carl Frazier said it was "a good win", and one he felt like they were building towards.
"The previous couple of weeks we've been playing well but we haven't put it together," he said.
He said a couple of returning players made a difference. Shane Lindsay, who kicked a game-high six goals, had missed the last two games.
He was a good target up front.
Nathan Vaisey was also back after a few weeks out. He played well, Frazier, said, as did Matthew Hall, who supported Lindsay with five goals, and James Vallender. He "had a good game down back" whilst also kicking two goals.
Dylan Lake meanwhile had an immediate impact, the league gun kicking three goals on debut.
Frazier said they also "stuck to the game plan" and what they've been trying to do at training they went out and did.
With finals well out of their reach, Frazier said the remainder of the season is a good chance to work on a few things and build some momentum for next year.
