THERE'S only one way to describe Melbourne's 13-point loss to the Dogs: a missed opportunity.
The Demons had double the inside 50s, double the scoring shots and over double the clearances, but couldn't convert when it mattered at VU Whitten Oval.
While it wasn't the result the club was after, there were enough positives on Sunday afternoon.
Recap the day through the eyes of social media below.
