Hogan leads late charge as Dees cut down Giants
March 26, 2016 4:11 PMMELBOURNE has come from behind to assert itself over Greater Western Sydney as the AFL's team on the rise, with young star Jesse Hogan kicking three final-quarter goals to snatch a thrilling two-point win.
Uninspiring for the majority of the first three quarters, the Demons flicked into attacking mode and dominated the final term to kick six of the last eight goals and win 12.8 (80) to 10.18 (78).
Five talking points: Melbourne v Greater Western Sydney
Hogan was well beaten by opponent Phil Davis up until the last change, but he benefited from the Demons final-quarter flair to star alongside Jack Watts in the run home.
Last year's NAB AFL Rising Star turned around what would have been a dirty day to win six of his 17 possessions in the last quarter and put any talk of his goalkicking inaccuracy to bed, converting two set shots.
Watts, meanwhile, kicked the opening goal of the fourth quarter after taking a strong
mark, and he stood up in a tackle late in the term to dish off a crucial handball that allowed Aaron vandenBerg to dribble home the
match-winning goal.
