In front of a home crowd on Saturday, the Demons held strong from the first bounce, taking a 17-point lead into the second quarter and never looking back.
By the main break the home side had extended its lead to 21 points before a late comeback from Old Collegians in the third saw this reduced to just seven points going into the final term.
The Demons held strong in the final quarter, adding 4.3 to the scoreboard while keeping the visitors scoreless for the term.
Final scores were Timboon 10.10.70 to Old Collegians 5.6.36.
