Wandin’s wonder boy Aaron Mullett has kicked 100 goals this season in a massive feat that could see the club go on for a premiership.
The ex-North Melbourne and Carlton AFL player kicked the century marking goal against second-placed Olinda Ferny Creek on 19 July.
Capitalising on a poor pass from Olinda’s Seymour, Mullett accelerated centre-bound, fended off two Bloods players before firing off a cracking shot that saw the ball float perfectly in the middle of the big sticks.
When Mullett sealed the deal, he said it was a moment he’ll “never forget”.
“I remember kicking that goal and just going on the run and kind of getting swarmed by all my teammates and a lot of friends and family came running out too,” he said.
As he got mobbed by all his supporters, beers were poured and hugs were aplenty.
“It was very overwhelming, the amount of people that came out.”
“Got to spend it with some close friends and family on Saturday night and celebrated with all my teammates, it was a really special day.”
When asked about his top supporters, Mullett pointed to his family as having been along for the whole journey.
“Definitely my wife and my two girls and I’ll definitely say my dad and my father-in-law, I reckon they’ve come to every game this year.
“They’ve definitely rode the journey with me today,” he said.
With 103 goals in 13 games under his belt for the 2025 season, Mullett averages just under eight goals per game.
He kicked 12 goals in a single game on two occasions, against both Olinda Ferny Creek and Gembrook Cockatoo.
With 10 Best Player awards this season, he’s also only three more off his century for that award too.
But Mullett’s focus remained on securing the premiership rather than individual awards.
“I just want to win more premierships.
“The 100 goals is nice and it was a bit about me for that day and that moment, but the bigger picture is, they got me up there to help win premierships.”
With Wandin sitting on the top of the ladder with 52 points, they’re certainly on their way to a premiership, given the Dogs keep up their current form.
