16:30
Oh dear! O'Meara marks strongly to set up a shot at goal however his kick is a shocker and lands out of bounds on the full.
18:20
GOAL SUNS - A contentious free kick off the ball to that man Ablett who shows all his experience to go back and kick a crucial steadier for the Suns.

20:28
SCORE GOAL - Suns (David Swallow)
20:40

21:35
SCORE GOAL - Demons (Jeremy Howe)
22:10
GOAL DEMONS - A quick reply from the Demons as Howe bends one back from deep in the pocket over the goal umpires' head and there's still a pulse.
23:40
GOAL DEMONS - Melbourne won't throw the towel as they make it two in a row via the boot of Viney who adds his name to the list of goal kickers.
23:58
SCORE GOAL - Demons (Jack Viney)
25:21
SCORE GOAL - Suns (Greg Broughton)
26:10
GOAL SUNS - A booming drop punt from Broughton from beyond 50m clears the pack and surely that will be the ball game with the Suns once again taking their lead beyond three goals.
27:25
The Suns in possession and content to chip the ball around as they look to wipe seconds off the clock.
28:50
GOAL DEMONS - Terrific individual effort from Evans who traps the bouncing ball before swinging onto his left boot for a great goal.
29:11
SCORE GOAL - Demons (Michael Evans)
30:31
SCORE BEHIND - Suns (Tom J. Lynch)
