Wandin looked to enjoy the opportunity to get to the bigger ground at Pakenham on Saturday afternoon as the Dogs took on the Lions.
Although the first quarter was a tight contest, Wandin’s inaccuracy kept Pakenham close on the scoreboard (1.1, 7 to 2.5, 17 at quarter time) before the Dogs were able to break the game and the ground open in the second quarter to establish a strong lead at halftime, 2.2, 15 to 8.8, 56.
Chayce Black and Pat Bruzzese were instrumental through the middle of the ground and across half back while Aaron Mullet (5 goals) is always dangerous with room to move inside forward 50 as the trio featured among Wandin’s best.
In the end, the Dogs walked away winners with the final score reading 5.7, 37 to 16.11, 107.
Top Dogs on the day were Black, Bruzzese, Jordan Jaworski, Charlie Wood, Mullett and Macauley Beckwith.
Joining Mullett on the goalkickers list were Clinton Johnson, Beckwith and Wood with 2 and Harrison Byrne, Patrick Hodgett, Max Le Fevre, Jack Mason and Jaworksi with one apiece.
