This was a brutal contest but it was the speedster Bobby Hill that proved the difference with three goals while Dan McStay kicked two goals as Melbourne’s recruit Brodie Grundy watched on from the stands.
The game is as tough now - perhaps more - than it has been at anytime in the past five decades.
But in front of 92,636 fans, the third-largest qualifying final crowd on record, nothing was going to quieten the spirits that were rising through the night sky. But they were soon aware of him as were the Demons when he hit the first three contests of the match like a pinball. He dragged Jake Lever down in the goal square to put doubt in the defender’s mind before he earned a free kick to kick the opening goal of the game.
It was disheartening for the Demons who fell back into a hole that has only been closed during 2021. They could not convert their inside 50s into goals.
