Wandin overcame a fast-starting Olinda-Ferny Creek side to secure a win at The Kennel in Round Nine.
The Bloods kicked the first two goals of the game and another one after the Dogs secured their first, but Wandin went into the quarter time break with a one-point lead after kicking a further two goals.
It was a scrappy contest all day where neither team had much control of the ball but Wandin held a lead at every change, despite Olinda-Ferny Creek pegging it back to only a 12-point final margin, 12.12, 84 to 10.12, 72.
Former AFL player Aaron Mullett proved to be the difference on the day as his six-goal haul secured Wandin the four premiership points while Wandin’s other goalkickers were Max Le Fevre with two and Harrison Byrne, Harrison Van Duuren, Jordan Jaworski and Patrick Hodgett each with one.
Top Dogs on the day were Aaron Mullett, Patrick Hodgett, Leiwyn Jones, Harrison van Duuren, Todd Garner, Harrison Byrne and Patty Bruzzese.
