It was a thumping 44-goal win for Strathmerton in Picola District Football League round 13 action, with Looby and McCormack running amok against the Saints.
The two seemed to have a game within the contest as they hunted goals and bragging rights, but it was Looby who finished on top with a staggering 15 majors.
McCormack finished the memorable day with 12 to his name as Strathy marches into the break in second spot.
Looby’s efforts see him grab the goal-kicking lead off Waaia’s Charlie Burrows and takes him to 64 for the season.
Elsewhere, Picola United has sensationally forced its way into the top eight on the ladder after it claimed a crucial win over fellow finals aspirant Katamatite.
The Blues took control from the first bounce, although didn’t capitalise fully, kicking a wayward 2.6 to the Tigers’ two straight to enter the quarter-time huddle six points ahead.
The efficiency in front of goal improved dramatically from there, as Picola United booted a further 6.4 for the match, extending the lead at every break to secure the 8.10 (58) to 6.7 (43) win.
Katty’s Will Gorman provided a spark in attack and booted three goals, while Toby Kopa and Wade Demasi were the Tigers’ top performers in the loss.
The defeat sees the Tigers locked in eight spot.
Blues coach Darby Walsh was overjoyed with his side, which kept the finals dream alive with the win.
“We knew it was going to be a tough game and that's exactly what it was,” he said.
“They play a really good style of footy, and I think we obviously displayed yesterday our style of footy as well.”
