The Lakies outplayed Creswick in the early stages of the encounter to set-up the 43-point victory.

An opening term melee set the intensity for the evening and a matter of minutes later Creswick’s Christopher McLean was reported for having made head high contact.

Learmonth capitalised on the numbers advantage to boot seven goals and take a 32-point lead to half-time.

The Wickers stayed in touch but ultimately had no answer.

Ryan Barnes displayed a great work rate and exercised control in the ruck.
