A strong wind to the Warburton Highway end made scoring difficult as Wandin took on Gembrook-Cockatoo at home in Round Nine of the Outer East Premier Division.
This didn’t hold back the Dogs too much, however, keeping the Brooker goalless and racking up a 163-point win.
It was a scrappy first quarter, with Wandin managing an inaccurate 1.5, 11 while Gembrook-Cockatoo scrambled three behinds.
Their inability to take advantage of the wind early cost the Brookers as the floodgates opened in the second quarter, Wandin kicking 9.8 to their solitary point.
Despite the wind advantage, Wandin was systematic with their attack on the ball and use of it going forward for the rest of the game keeping their opponents scoreless in the third quarter and managing 5.3.
The Dogs dismantled the Brookers in the final quarter, kicking another 10 goals and 7 points and conceding only 1 point.
The top Dogs on the day were Joel Garner, Jordan Jaworski, Samuel Hodgett, Harrison van Duuren, John Ladner and Daniel Hirst. Garner kicked 6 goals, Clinton Johnson, Jaworski and Van Duuren each 3, Chaych Black Patty Bruzzese and Aaron Mandl with 2 and 1 apiece for Andres Baker, Cody Hirst and Coonor Smith.
