Wandin Football Club secured a strong win over Emerald on Saturday 12 July with a dominant performance bookended by a blistering start and a composed finish.
Former AFL player Aaron Mullett was the star of the day, kicking 10 goals, including four in a sensational opening quarter that helped Wandin explode out of the gates.
Wandin wasted no time as they kicked goal after goal.
The Dogs were fearless in attack and defence, limiting the Bombers to a single point in the first quarter.
Wandin took an commanding 47 point lead into quarter time.
Despite the early onslaught, Emerald regrouped and worked their way back into the contest.
Siwes took matters into his own hands later on into the second quarter with three goals kicked and Emerald managed to regain some composure.
But, Wandin continued on in true Wandin fashion as they almost doubled their scoreline, putting the halftime scoreline at 84-21.
A relatively quiet third quarter saw only three goals kicked in total from both sides, with Emerald’s Wadsworth claiming one of his own.
Through gritted teeth, Emerald pushed forward in the final term.
Kapahnke and Boyle kicked goals back to back which inserted some spirit into their game.
But their spirits were dashed as Wandin regained control and finished strongly to put the result beyond doubt.
The final scoreline was 127-43 and despite losing to mid-table Monbulk last week, Wandin continue to walk through this league with ease.
Wandin’s best performers were Aaron Mullett, Cayden Black, Brodie Atkins, Samuel Hodgett, Cody Hirst and John Ladner.
Emerald’s best performers were Steven Kapahnke, Bailey Grose, Jake Pedder, Ewan Wadsworth, Harvey Siwes and Matt Edwards.
Mullett has kicked an insane 98 goals so far this season, averaging 7.5 goals per game.
Only a shock injury of some sort would stop him from surpassing the 100 goal mark next match.
