A quality game was played at the Kennel with two premiership contenders in Wandin and Narre Warren going at it.
Both teams were able to score at will, making a great spectacle for the large crowd that come to watch.
In the end, it was the Doggies’ accuracy in front of goal that got them over the line against the Magpies, kicking 21.13, 139 to Narre’s 14.17, 101 for a solid 38-point margin.
The goalkickers were in abundance for Wandin, with Aaron Mullett bagging another five to take his season tally to 14 from two games, Clinton Johnson kicking three, Cody Hirst, Patty Bruzzese, Patrick Hodgett nailing two and Brodie Atkins, Harrison Van Duuren, Chayce Black and Connor Smith all contributing o1.
Drew Benson, Tom Merlino, Smith, C Hirst, Mullett and Bruzzese were the top Dogs on the day.
Smith is one to watch for the future and could well be on the radar of AFL clubs come draft time. A recent TikTok video showcasing Smith’s freakish talent starring Smith on Saturday night has garnered almost 250,000 views, showing Smith nonchalantly taking a shot at goal from up by the clubrooms, nailing a perfect torpedo that spiralled through the goals. If it wasn’t incredible enough, he was barefoot.
