The axing of the coach game, both well overdue, who will it be? Both still in the finals hunt with a game to go, with the Demons winning here, neither may end up in and both may be sacked. Gawn dominates the hit-outs and gets 8 clearances of his own, but the Giants still manage 13 more inside 50's. They don't ever mark the ball though, it's something that's never addressed. Toby Greene didn't have a great game, but the theory still holds true. It's Toby or bust, because he's the only capable go to player inside 50, sometimes Himmelberg can be. Jeremy Cameron wants the over the back or transition situation and well their defense and transition is very poor, so those are quite limited this season. Melbourne scored at ease, Oliver missed opportunities as well, Petracca showed him how to do it. May excellent down back, thwarting many of the Giants entries. Young Rivers had a good game for the Demons, with 2 goals. Kelly with 10 inside 50's and 707 metres gained for the Giants. Daniels their best forward for the night, with 3 goals. Leon Cameron omitting his captain for the game, a doozy.
