Match report: Demons' onslaught blows cold Suns away
May 7, 2016 7:50 PM
MELBOURNE has moved to the cusp of the top eight, taking care of a meek Gold Coast by 73 points at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night.
The Demons led by just five points at half-time, but ran riot in the second half, kicking 16 goals to six, to run out 24.16 (160) to 14.3 (87) winners.
They kicked nine goals in a breathtaking third term to set up victory. Following last week's 120-point thumping at the hands of Geelong and preaching effort all week, the Suns simply folded after the long break.
It was a dark night for Rodney Eade's men, with Matt Rosa (hamstring) and Alex Sexton (forearm) taken off either side of quarter-time and not returning. Melbourne was relentless in notching its fourth win of the season, to leave them out of the top eight on percentage alone.
They dominated all areas, winning the disposals (412-317), clearances (48-30), contested possessions (169-133) and the inside 50s by a landslide 75-37.
Max Gawn continued his stellar season in the ruck, and was the best player on the ground in a great team performance.
