The Warriors have not been beaten, and rarely challenged, after four rounds.
A 16 goal to six first quarter set the tone of the match for the Warriors and Demons, with the match evening after the first-quarter blowout.
Jade Cross and Lori Antonio were best for the Warriors, while Brianna Burke continued her stellar season for the Demons, along with Amanda Worthy.
Liza Cook and Hanna Cody continued their strong goals combination for the Warriors with Cook recording 29 goals and Cody 22.
Stawell netball director Debbie Bach said it was a strong performance from the Warriors.
"Our two goalies are combining really well and that is making all the difference at the moment," Bach said.
"The mid-court were really strong as well with Jade Cross and Lorio Antonio in the centre."
Bach said goal shooting recruits Cook and Cody had made a major difference to the Warriors outfit.
"They are both new to the club and have started off really well," she said.
"We have never had goalies with a lot of height before, so that has really been a huge advantage for us."
In other matches Ararat put in a clinical display against the previously undefeated Horsham Saints, winning 63-25.
The Rats jumped out of the blocks with a 19-6 first quarter and finished just as well, holding the Saints to a goal-less last quarter.
Rats defender Rebecca Skrabl was best on court, while mid-court player Terri-Anne Lewis was strong.
Gun shooter Megan Shea regained form with 44 goals. Megan O'Connor was the stand-out for the Saints.
Warrack Eagles kept their unbeaten record intact with a 42-23 win against Minyip-Murtoa.
A strong second quarter set-up the Eagles victory by opening up a 12-goal lead, after the Burras had bravely stayed within three goals at the first change.
Eagles joint coach Sarah Koschitzke was best, while Ashlynn McKenzie continued her strong form.
Courtney Gerdtz and Lateesha Gascoyne were best for the Burras.
Horsham United proved far too strong for Dimboola, winning 54-31.
The Diggers' attack proved the difference with Caitlin Story and Rowie Johns able to capitalise on opportunities.
Story was best, with Jacquie Norris also a valuable contributor.
Abbey Greig continued her strong form for the Roos, while Sammy Reddie was strong.
