The Dogs remain in sixth place on the Premier Division ladder but now sit just two points behind fifth placed Cranbourne, after they kicked 16 goals to nine after quarter time completing a 126 point swing against Beaconsfield in the process. Wandin lost their round three, four and five games to Beaconsfield, Cranbourne and Narre Warren by a combined total of 326 points, struggling to adapt to the home grounds of their new counterparts. Coach Nick Adam said he and his side were embarrassed by their efforts down the highway in the earlier part of the season and had spoken about the opportunities that the return legs would hold for them. “We were embarrassed by what we produced on the bigger grounds and talked all week about the opportunities that were going to present themselves over the coming weeks and this was the first one,” “We knew the size of the ground wasn’t going to do it for us.” The Dogs, like many sides, have encountered a number of injuries throughout the 2019 season which have forced other players to play different roles when required.
