The 8.10 (58) to 5.10 (40) victory at John Flower Oval keeps the Bulldogs within two points of the top five and their faint finals hopes alive.
In just his fourth match for the season, Bradshaw proved the difference on a day where key Panther forwards Adam Prior and Justin Koschitzke were kept goalless.
Along with Daniel Sharp, Bradshaw only came into the side on Saturday morning when McKye Turner and Nick Beattie failed fitness tests.
Matt Seiter turned in a typical performance in the ruck while co-captains Brett Doswell and Jackson Russell were outstanding in the heavy conditions, which saw just three goals kicked after half-time.
James Saker was Lavington’s best player, keeping the dangerous Steve Murray to just one goal.
