Devon Meadows has bounced back from a shock loss in commanding style, defeating Bonbeach 14.16 100 to 4.6 30 at Glover Reserve.
The Sharks were never in the contest with Ryan Hendy’s side kicking four of the first five goals to put itself in a commanding position.
Joel Hillis and Ty Kirkwood each kicked three as the Panthers played with flair and defended strongly against their eighth-placed opponents.
Jack Wilson was named best on ground, with the half forward/midfielder kicking two goals from 35 disposals and influencing with his class and energy.
It’s the fourth consecutive week Wilson has had a major say on proceedings, with the teenaged Hampton Park recruit averaging 28 disposals and nine marks in his last month of footy.
Pearcedale, meanwhile, made a statement against Chelsea with an 11.14 80 to 7.11 53 victory, led by Mitch Davis and Alex Dimic.
The result sees Pearcedale consolidate its spot in fifth position, while Devon Meadows slide up to second, given its superior percentage to Chelsea.
