The 2015 Premiership reunion took place on a beautiful winters day and local rivals Mt Evelyn visited Wandin to take on the Bulldogs. Despite it being the middle of June with cold weather, a big crowd turned up to celebrate the day.
Wandin’s 2015 team went undefeated on its way to the premiership that year and at round 10, the 2025 team looks likely to do the same.
Both teams had its key individuals out on the field and they all turned up with a hunger for the contest.
Mullett and Garner kicked the first two goals for Wandin in the first quarter and it was only after a third Wandin goal that Mt Evelyn managed to get back one of their own, courtesy of Mckernan.
Though Mckernan managed another goal for Mt Evelyn before the end of the first quarter, Wandin had already established a 34-14 lead.
Mt Evelyn opened up the scoring in the second quarter, but a watershed of Wandin goals would follow.
It was really only the second quarter that Wandin had any real ascendancy.
Third quarter saw Mt Evelyn kick their most in the game with three goals, owing to Mckernan, Garbett and Gordon.
They also managed a handful of points too, but Wandin were already miles in front.
A nine goal half time lead remained as the final margin and Mt Evelyn would be proud of how they fought the game out in the second half.
Best players for Wandin were Joel Garner, Jordan Jaworski, Chayce Black, John Ladner, Ben Johnson, Cayden Black.
Best players for Mt Evelyn were Liam Bowden, Ryley Mckernan, Jasper Barry, William Gordon, Kellan Smith, Bayley Forbes.
Next week is a big one for Wandin, as they face off against Woori Yallock in a mega first versus second contest.
