Wandin travelled to Officer on a windy weekend for the Pride Round matchup that had a serious impact on the type of football produced, particularly in front of goal.
Wandin started the match firing on all cylinders, though they only managed five goals despite kicking seven behinds.
With Wandin 37 points up, the second quarter would prove to be a struggle for Officer, who only managed to sneak in one behind before goals courtesy of Aaron Mullett, Nicholas Pike and Brodie Atkins saw the scoreline surge to 56-3 by the end of the second quarter.
Wandin’s defence was miserly all day as they managed to keep Officer goalless until well into the third quarter.
Cody Hirst and Pat Bruzzese where the standouts on ball, Chayce Black continued to stake his claim as the premier half back in the competition and the wind was the only thing that stopped Aaron Mullet from having an absolute day out, kicking seven but missing just as many in the windy conditions.
Wandin’s best were Cody Hirst, Chayce Black, Patty Bruzzese, Jordan Jaworski, Aaron Mullett, Cayden Black.
Officer’s best were Jake Gains, David West, Antonio Quach, Lachie Ward, Nathan Allen, Mark Seedsman.
Wandin’s tight display resulted in a crushing win for the dogs – final scoreline was 24-107.
It was a similar result for the Wandin women’s division two team.
The girls’ defence was strong, limiting Officer to a meagre two goals and two behinds for the whole match.
Danielle Wearne and Lauren Sullivan kicked two goals each, while Tyana Ryan-Bader, Ava Graham and Emma O’Hare all snatching one goal each.
Wandin women’s best players were Lottie Read, Lydia Langton, Aimee Atkins, Maeve O’Hare, Chloe Stokes, Ava Graham.
Officer women’s best players were Ebony Code, Madeline Caarels, Shelby Crothers, hayley wood, Paige Madeley, Breana Granger.
