GOLD COAST 12.8 (80) def MELBOURNE 8.7 (55) at Southport, Queensland
A DOMINANT performance from maligned Dee Jack Watts did little as an undersized Melbourne was exposed by Gold Coast in its final pre-season match today.
A Demons side missing Mitch Clark, Jack Viney, Jack Trengove James Frawley and Chris Dawes lacked firepower up forward and was stretched in defence as the Suns' young tall timber speared the home side to a 25-point win.
Big men Aaron Hall and Charlie Dixon combined for five majors, while Gary Ablett stepped his pre-season up another notch, collecting 24 touches in the 12.8 (80) to 8.7 (55) victory at Southport.
Watts racked up 25 disposals as he was unleashed from halfback, while James Sellar provided a lone target in attack, booting three goals.Mature-aged recruit Dean Terlich again impressed for Melbourne and is on track for a Round 1 debut against Port Adelaide in two weeks.
Terlich collected 21 touches and booted a goal, while Mark Jamar was dominant in the ruck.
Suns' first-round draftee and midfield wrecking ball Jesse Lonergan injured his wrist and was spotted sporting a sling after the match.

HAWTHORN 17.7 (109) leads NORTH MELBOURNE 4.9 (33) at 34 time in Craigieburn
NORTH Melbourne could be without another suspended defender for its Round 1 clash against Collingwood with former Sun Taylor Hine reported for a high bump on Jack Gunston.
The Roos are already without Scott McMahon for the season-opener, while veteran Brent Harvey is suspended until Round 7.
The Roos were monstered by Hawthorn today, with David Hale booting four goals in the first three quarters against his old side to spear the Hawks to a 76-point lead.
Nathan Grima and Ryan Bastinac tried hard for the Roos, while Lance Franklin and Gunston kicked three goals each in the first three terms.

PORT ADELAIDE 15.12 (102) def SYDNEY 10.12 (72) at AAMI Stadium
NEW Port Adelaide skipper Travis Boak speared his side to a five-goal win against premiers Sydney to cap the Power's impressive pre-season under Ken Hinkley.
The midfield star booted three goals from 29 touches as Port shot clear in the final quarter.
But forward John Butcher injured his hand during the 15.12 (102) to 10.12 (72) win, although Port Adelaide tweeted it did not appear to be a serious blow.
Brad Ebert collected 25 touches, while former Eagle Lewis Stevenson racked up 21 from defence as he continues to bolt towards a Round 1 Power debut after 10 games for West Coast in 2010.
Goals to Sydney stars Adam Goodes, Kieran Jack and Jesse White in the third quarter sent the Swans into the final break just seven points down, before the home side seized control in front of 5042 fans.
Sam Reid kicked Sydney's sole major in the final term, two weeks out from Sydney's Round 1 match against GWS.
