Wandin hosted Gembrook Cockatoo on 31 May, a beautiful early winter’s afternoon, and Gembrook Cockatoo came ready to test themselves against the league leader.
Lots of goals were scored in the first quarter, with majority of those coming from Wandin’s regulars, Mullett, Hodgett, Hirst and Atkins.
The Brookers were able to bite back a few, courtesy of Dam and Jenner.
Going into the second quarter, the scoreline was 46-18.
The Brookers were super competitive all day with midfielders Josh Tilley and Aaron Firritto working hard on ball.
The Brookers opened up the scoring in the second with a behind and a goal from Frater and Shelton respectively.
But Wandin in transition is a tough one to contain and once on the outside the Dogs where too sharp on the ball.
Aaron Mullett again feasted off the transition and kicked the Wandin’s second quarter off as the Dogs managed to dominate the scoreline for the rest of the second.
In the third quarter, the Brookers took it to the Dogs with a goal courtesy of Brodie Walker, before Jaworski and Mullett responded with two of their own.
The final quarter simply cemented what had already been established for Wandin, and the Dogs continued their match kicking goal after goal.
Final scoreline was 22.14.146 to 7.6.48.
Brookers’ best were Robin Nahas, Jacob Goicoa, Aaron Firrito, Charlie Eyssens, Zachariah Shelton, Frankie Trott.
Wandin’s best were Aaron Mullett, Daniel Willis, Leiwyn Jones, Ben Johnson, Todd Garner, Cayden Black.
