Match report: Demons hand out royal hiding to dethrone Magpies
June 13, 2016 6:11 PM
RUCKMAN Max Gawn has laid claim to being the game's best ruckman after leading Melbourne to its first win on Queen's Birthday since 2007, with the Demons destroying Collingwood by 46 points.
As the Demons kicked seven goals in the second quarter, Gawn had 10 disposals and kicked two goals. Such was his presence and influence, he made the Magpies' decision to add Jarrod Witts to the line-up to support Brodie Grundy and Mason Cox a failure. Melbourne dominated uncontested possession and had 125 more disposals than Collingwood to win 16.8 (104) to 8.10 (58).
After wasting opportunities early, Jack Trengove started the ball rolling for Melbourne in the second quarter with his first goal since round 19, 2013.
The Demons kicked seven of the next eight goals until Levi Greenwood broke the run and kicked one for the Magpies five minutes into the third quarter
