Melbourne only found out they would be playing the Suns on the Gold Coast a week before their season-opening game, but look dominant after some early wobbles.

Melbourne has overcome some late schedule changes to beat the Suns by 21 points in their AFLW season opener on the Gold Coast.The Demons were told a week before the game that they would not be playing a home openerThree of the Demons goals came on the back of 50-metre infringements by the Suns

The Demons were supposed to open their season at home against Adelaide but, a week before the game, they were told to get ready for the trip to Queensland and pulled off a 9.2 to 5.5 win. They flew up on the day of the game and as a result, could be forgiven for turning up a little bit late, as the Suns' Jamie Stanton kicked the first goal 30 seconds after bouncedown and cult hero Sarah Perkins potted after the first-quarter siren to maintain the lead.

But the Demons hit back in the second term, slotting five goals to none thanks in no small part to 13 disposals by Karen Paxman, who was on pace to break the record for the most possessions in an AFLW game with 19 at the half.The Suns did not let the lead balloon out to an embarrassing degree, but were victims of their own ill-discipline as the Demons were gifted three goals by 30-metre penalties throughout the game.

Tegan Cunningham, Kate Hore and Krstel Petrevski all potted doubles for the Demons, while Perkins nabbed a pair for the Suns against her former club.

Yes. It's very serious.

They tell me I can't win loudly and then I beat them down to where they go away before they even say I'm right. Then I do loud things to get their attention and their gone hiding. Pretending to not remember jack. That's a form of lying btw.

My origin story? Is dark. Lol. Some really mean stuff. People forgetting me. Counting me out and then years later it manifested again and I wasn't gonna have it lol. My story is dark and full of vengeance and being so loud those who were against me or did something fishy hiding.

My story starts off with people tryna push me around and say I ain't about it. Then poof. I was always about it. And that's when the problems started

I destroyed the demons. They won't even say my name cause theyre cowards and know when my name starts getting chanted nothing they do gonna compare to what I can do. You seen x-men? I'm real life :) everybody love x-men. Wait till you see Chester :)
