The Pigeons had a narrow lead after the first break and were able to get four goals clear during the match, before the Roos fought back to run out seven goal winners at Corowa on Sunday.
With Yarrawonga also having had an excellence start to the season, Roos' coach Georgie Bruce said it's always an encounter the clubs looks forward to.
"You have to play the best to see where you sit," Bruce said.
"It's always been a tough contest regardless of where Yarra and Corowa have sat on the ladder and it's one that I look forward to.
"They got a quick jump on us.
"I think good and trusting sides are able to work at that and plug away to get the score line back to a positive margin for themselves.
"That's what we were able to do and that's what we work towards doing."
Roos' defenders Sophie Hanrahan and Emily Laracy were both strong, while Grace Senior was on target to shoot 53 goals.
Bruce praised her whole side for its united approach.
"It's full team efforts that beat Yarrawonga," Bruce said.
"You can never take a team like them for granted with what they can produce."

Annelise Grinter was also strong for the Pigeons, who sit in third spot on the ladder.
