The Crows piled on seven unanswered goals in the first half before running out big winners, 21.14 (140) to 5.6 (36) at Leeton Showground.
The Crows had winners all over the ground as the young Lions struggled to match it with their bigger opponents.
Leeton-Whitton coach Jade Hodge was rapt.
“Our game against Mango in last year’s preliminary final final was pretty good, but today was as good a game as we’ve played,” Hodge said.
“Take nothing away from Ganmain, we just played some fantastic footy. It was a four-quarter effort, we used the footy well and we played to our game plan for four quarters for the first time all year.”
Luke Potter was best-on-ground after a strong display on the wing for the Crows. Hugh Collins impressed off half-back, while Tom Meline and Matt Rainbird were also good. Daniel Muir finished with five goals.
Mid-season recruits Sean Wilkinson, who kicked two goals, and Liam Greenwell both showed good signs in their first games in Crows colours.
Toby Conroy was the only injury concern, pulling up with a sore knee.
Jacob Olsson was best for GGGM, while Cameron Linsell kicked a goal and played well in his senior debut.
