'Well, it works. It's not the honourable way to do it but it counts. We won.' 9WWOS AFL
From the next centre bounce the ball found its way to Hore, who coolly slotted with his left foot from 50-metres to level the scores."I think the belief in the group, we always think we're a chance. Everyone played their role in the last minute and we just pulled it off."The Demons again got the ball from the middle and charged inside the Suns' 50 as the clock ticked down.
Eventually it broke to McDonald, who failed to make a clean connection on the bouncing ball but did enough to divert it on to the post before the final siren sounded. McDonald was the leading goal scorer in a scrappy affair, booting three majors while Holman and Ben Ainsworth had two each for the Suns.Clayton Oliver was the busiest player on the ground with 38 disposals and 15 tackles while Jake Melksham had 11 marks.Defender Michael Hibberd suffered a suspected broken collarbone after he and Suns' co-captain Swallow collided heavily contesting the ball late in the second quarter.
The Suns had injury concerns of their own when Sean Lemmens, in his first game back from an ankle injury, limped out of the game after hurting the same joint at the start of the third term. Victory lifts Melbourne to 3-5, the same record as the Suns, who have now lost four matches on the bounce.
