NAB CHALLENGE: GOLD COAST SUNS v MELBOURNE

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

Another second quarter fade out?

Bit of a breeze by the sound of it.

[GrandOld 367]

@melbournefc: Leading possession getters at half time: Watts 17, Grimes 14, M.Jones 13, Terlich 13.

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

Read all the reports, most scoring at one end....so there must be a wind....sigh

so watts is back in my dream team side i guess...

You should never have taken him out!

Half Time; blue skies must be over 30 here, no worthwhile wind advantage, dees started well and dominated 1st and start of 2nd, Ablett went FWD and created a few opportunities, and got the Suns back in the game, can't recall going inside 50 in the last half of 2nd??

went to Rodan a few times but got beaten and suns rebounded

4.5 to 4.3

heaps of kick to kick in the backline, struggling to get it clear out of defense, the Suns are onto the switch and zone was making Ds nervous.

other points of interest..

Hogan's 1st quarter great! Toumpas and M. Jones going well, Tapscott took a great contested one handed, nJones outmuscled Gaz in a nice bit of work on the wing, Warnock 'the wall' another ex making you jealous..

players look stuffed in the heat,

now must attempt to find the gents...

Bailin Out

For those reporting I offer a huge thanks and requests that at the end of the game that we know who was playing firstly and I'd also love more than anything to know how our centre midfielders went especially who had a go on Ablett.

@melbournefc: It's currently 27 degrees, humid and reasonably still here at Southport. Players like @howie0038 have opted to cover their face in zinc.

Another second quarter fade out?

Suns outscored us by 11 points in that quarter, but if you include that quarter when we were up by 21 points it was actually a 23 point turn around in less than a quarter.

So you'd have to say yes.

[DeeSpencer 26,081]

Seems we've still got a lot of work to do on maintaining composure of the back half which is a shame!

So not a wind to one end? Odd.

[Mister Ed 317]

If that's what we're going to produce in 2013, then we'd better prepare ourselves for a long, hard year. We are painful.

Our shining light in the first half will be a star but not in 2013 - Jesse Hogan.

So the wind up there is called GAblett

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

Bailin, why all the scoring at one end?

[Satyriconhome 10,879]

Can everyone take a deep breath and save all the wailing till the game is over and we have ALL the info post just whining clog up the topic....let Bailin post

[3Dee 1,153]

not sure, maybe cause all the GC beach babes are at that end?

players out on field , 3rd to start in a few mins

[Young Dee 1,303]

Bailin, why all the scoring at one end?

What do you mean we won the first quarter and then were dominating them during the first 10 mins of the 2nd! Just another fade out.

[GrandOld 367]

@melbournefc: Sellar takes the mark on a 45 degree angle and slots it through for a goal - his first for the day.

[CBDees 3,167]

Goal to Sellar

[GrandOld 367]

@melbournefc: The Suns answer back with a goal. Suns 5.5.35 v Dees 5.3.33.

Who's that rucking for GC? Looks like a big bugger from the photo.
