The Western Jets have got back on the winners list after defeating the Sandringham Dragons by 22 points at Trevor Barker Oval.
The Jets started the game kicking with the wind but were once again wasteful in front of goal kicking 3.7 to 3.2 to lead by 5 points at quarter time.
With Nathan Schroder and Jordan Robbins winning plenty of the football and Bryce Carroll looking dangerous up forward the Jets were able to outscore the dragons against the wind to extend their half time margin to 16 points.
The third quarter saw the Jets put the game beyond doubt with the first 6 goals of the quarter to get take the margin out to 54 before a late goal reduced the margin to 48 points at the final change.
The last quarter saw the Jets get lazy as the Dragons finished the game strongly but the margin was too great. Despite the 6 goals to 2 final quarter the Dragons couldn’t reel in the lead and the final deficit was 22 points.
The win puts the Jets in 4th place on percentage, and puts us 4 games clear of 9th place Sandringham with 8 rounds remaining. Next week the Jets take on Oakleigh at Warrawee Park on Saturday at 11am.
