Match report: Dees leave it late to eclipse Suns
July 31, 2016 3:40 PM
JACK Watts stepped up to be the hero as Melbourne overcame an error-riddled performance and snatched a dramatic two-point win over a gallant Gold Coast at the MCG on Sunday.
The Dees won 9.12 (66) to 9.10 (64) amid frantic scenes in the dying stages. With two minutes left on the clock and his team down by four points after surrendering a 14-point lead in the final term,
Watts coolly went back and slotted a difficult set shot from 45m near the boundary line for the go-ahead goal.
Just moments later, the much-maligned former No.1 draft pick worked deep into defence and took what should have been the match-saving mark in the goalsquare. But after Watts passed the ball to the pocket,
Bernie Vince turned a kick straight over to Suns star Tom Lynch 45m out on the boundary.
