After conceding the opening two goals of the match, the Saints piled on the next seven majors to set up a 34-point victory.
The reigning premier’s potent attack of Justin Koschtizke and Jarrod Hillary kicked 14 goals between them while Darcy I’Anson, Luke Brauer and Aidan Johnson took control of the midfield.
Brauer held Lion star Jye Shields at the stoppages and Johnson rucked virtually all day with Dylan Boers out injured.
“It was a good win,” coach Kade Stevens said.
“We probably played better against Howlong, but overall I would say it’s our best four-quarter performance.
“Culcairn is a good side and we knew we would have to play well.”
Defender Lachie Boyd was outstanding for the home team and first-gamer Rhys Mitsch looked far from out of place.
Koschitzke, who has 36 goals from six matches, finished with 8.5 and proved too tall and strong for the Culcairn backline.
Lion defender Tim Haines battled gamely with support coming from Brendan Way, Jamie Robbins and Dane Hallinan.
Jindera celebrated Jacob Millar’s 100th match with a 36-point victory over Rand-Walbundrie-Walla at Jindera.
In a tussle marred by poor goalkicking, the Bulldogs gained a handy break just before three-quarter-time and ran away with the match.
Big Michael D'Arcy took 10-plus marks in attack, with Millar and Hayden Hamilton dangerous nearby with four goals each.
The Giants led by four points at half-time but paid the price for turnovers in the second-half as the effort took its toll on Luke Kirkwood, Nick Turner and Darcy Kilmartin.
The return of Brendan Simmons and Lewis Gardiner will be crucial to their chances of staying in touch of the top six.
Henty hammered CDHBU by 70 points at Coreen.
The Power were held goalless until the third quarter as Andrew Yates, Dylan Hore, Beau Connell and Rhett Thomson controlled play for Henty.
Defenders Andrew Ollington and Tim Cooper were resolute for CDHBU.
Lockhart registered its first win of the season by defeating Billabong Crows by 40 points at Lockhart.
James Creasy, Henry Bouffler and Jordan Harrington were in everything for the Demons as they had the match in their keeping by half-time.
Ladder leader Osborne defeated Howlong by 59 points.
