A quarter of one-way footy comes to an end. Matt Rowell even had a shot after the siren to extend the lead. But he was a long way out and his kick fell short.
Will Simon Goodwin give the Dees a bake here?
QT: Gold Coast 5.7 (37) lead Melbourne 0.10 (0)

Make that FIVE goals for Gold Coast to ZERO for Melbourne. A shocking quarter by the Dees thus far ...
Touk Miller joins in on the party-time with a goal after 25 minutes.

Four individual goal-kickers and ALL the momentum. Bailey Humphery boots one and quarter-time can’t come quickly enough for the travelling Demons.

Jed Walter boots their third as the first quarter ticks into time-on. Melbourne, it must be pointed out, do have one behind on the board.
1.38pm
It’s Joel Jeffrey who slots Gold Coast’s second goal. That makes it seven scoring shots to ZERO so far. Goodness me, Demons .....
Q1, 14.00: Gold Coast 2.5 (17) lead Melbourne 0.0 (0)
The commentators are all over this. They can see that the Demons have barely turned up. “They’re playing like they’re going on a footy trip tomorrow,” one of them quips on Fox Footy.
“There’s just zero energy out here from Melbourne,” says another.

Sydney chairman Andrew Pridham has joined some of the game’s greats to slam the standard of the SCG’s playing surface as “unacceptable” and a “sandpit”.
Pridham relayed his concerns to AFL boss Andrew Dillon in the hours after Friday night’s game between the Swans and the Western Bulldogs, which was marred by players from both sides slipping over and having little confidence in keeping their feet.
“I’m extremely disappointed with the standard of the turf. It’s unacceptable, and we’re in discussions with Venues NSW about it,” Pridham told this masthead.
“We’re hopeful we can work together collaboratively to resolve it.”
The Swans have long been frustrated with stadium management over the quality of the playing surface, particularly the cricket wicket, which becomes slippery when wet.
1.32pm
Gold Coast are up and going … whereas the Demons appear flat-looked. On the Fox Footy commentary, Jonathan Brown went as far as to say words to the effect of “only one team has something to play for today” (and Melbourne are playing according)
It’s Gold Coast 1.5 (11) to Melbourne 0.0 (0) after 10 minutes
