Match report: Demons' high five sees finals in prospect
May 22, 2016 3:45 PM
MELBOURNE double-act Jesse Hogan and Jeff Garlett have kicked the Demons to a 63-point dismissal of the Brisbane Lions. The tall-and-small duo shared seven goals in the 19.17 (131) to 9.14 (68) romp at the MCG on Sunday.
While at times the football was far from fluent, the win was Melbourne's biggest home success in four years.
Hogan's five goals were spread across all four quarters, while Garlett nabbed two and assisted three others in the first half when the match was on the line.
James Harmes also bagged four goals, three in time-on in the fourth quarter as the Demons blew the margin out. The Demons' dominance was built in the second term, growing a buffer in the second quarter with four unanswered goals in seven minutes.
That included Viv Michie's first goal of his career, which had Demons running from every corner of the ground in congratulations.
Tomas Bugg also impressed, while young Dees Billy Stretch and Clayton Oliver showed signs of development.
