Jack Watts has continued his transformation from AFL whipping boy to cult hero by helping Melbourne edge Gold Coast by two points.Both sides were guilty of cringe-worthy turnovers and simple set-shot misses despite perfect conditions at a sun-soaked MCG on Sunday.Nonetheless, it culminated in an after-the-siren finish as the Demons prevailed 9.12 (66) to 9.10 (64).Watts booted his third goal with a tick over two minutes remaining in the match.He then stepped up at the other end of the ground, marking in the goal square to seemingly deny Gold Coast victory.But Watts passed to teammate Bernie Vince, who picked out Suns spearhead Tom Lynch before the siren sounded.Lynch, kicking from beyond the 50m arc and tucked up on the boundary line, was unable to make the distance.It was great reward for (Watts) to kick the winning goal, Demons coach Paul Roos said.It was indicative of his game today. He was the standout player for us, certainly.We used him in a lot of different roles ... his game was exceptional and the difference between us winning and losing.Its great to see him with a smile on his face ... I love Jack. Hes one of the best people Ive met in footy and to see him get the reward is really exciting.Melbourne gave up a three-goal head start before Watts steadied, kicking his sides first goal in the 24th minute of the match.The Demons busted the low-scoring affair open in the second term with three goals in three-and-a-half minutes, including two to Aaron Vandenberg.The third quarter was unremarkable with the exception of a bruising collision between James Harmes and Kade Kolodjashnij.The Suns hit the front in the final term after booting three consecutive goals, including a showstopper from Jarrad Grant, but the Demons rallied.Its a big win today. I wouldnt underestimate the importance for us as a club and them as a group of players, Roos said.Sometimes those wins are as important, if not more important, than a 10-goal win or a win against a team youre not expected to beat.It was Melbournes eighth win for the season.A further victory in the final four rounds will make it the clubs best year since 2006, when they most recently reached the finals.Suns coach Rodney Eade praised his sides effort, especially that of Lynch.It was a difficult kick. It was a pretty good shot, actually, Eade said.He did pretty well. It was a long shot and a tough angle I didnt expect him to kick it, but he gave it a good shake.Theyre disappointed, but I think we are getting a lot of belief among the group.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas coach David Beaty still has not announced a starting quarterback for Saturdays opener against Rhode Island, and its not because he is trying to keep it a secret.He insists that he legitimately doesnt know.Ill know a lot more after today, and Ill know a heck of a lot after tomorrow, Beaty said Tuesday. So were getting close. Weve got good choices.Two potential starters in Montell Cozart and Ryan Willis have had a significant amount of snaps in their careers, while the third prospect -- redshirt freshman Carter Stanley -- might be the most physically gifted of the bunch as a dual-threat quarterback not unlike former Beaty protege Johnny Manziel.There is not a hairs separation from them statistically in fall camp, Beaty said of the Jayhawks trio. We literally play rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first.The quarterback carousel is nothing new at Kansas.There was quarterback controversy in 2012 with Dayne Crist and Michael Cummings, and again the next year with Cozart and Jake Heaps. The same thing happened in 2014 with Cozart and Cummings.Last season, three different quarterbacks lined up in the starting slot at least once.Cozart said he wins the most rock, paper, scissor battles during practice these days, and he uses paper as his weapon of choice. But games aside, the captain has been a part of the quarterback mix at Kansas for four seasons, making the entire process nothing new.As a freshman in 2013, Heaps started most of the season before Cozart was thrown into the mix as the starter late in the season against West Virginia.Cozart was the starter the next season until Cummings got a chance, just before then-coach Charliee Weis was shown the door.ddddddddddddLast season, Cozart started three of the first four games -- he missed one due to illness -- before a season-ending injury. Willis was then thrown into the starting role as a freshman.Ive been through it before, Cozart said of the quarterback battle. Ive just got to go into the game with the mindset of when Im in there, controlling what I can, controlling the controlables.Willis played reasonably well in eight games last season, throwing for 1,719 yards with nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions. His passing yardage was the best by a quarterback at Kansas since Jordan Webb in 2011 and one of the best performances by a freshman in school history.But Willis still has work to do.Hes a baby, Beaty said, referring to his youth. He is by no means a finished product, at all. If he was, he would be named the starting quarterback and hes not.With Cozart healthy, Willis enjoys the battle.We have good competition going on in the room, he said. Iron sharpens iron, and this competition is going strong. The cream always rises to the top.In practice thus far, Cozart and Willis are getting the most reps, but Beaty said Stanleys dual-threat ability makes him an intriguing option in a quarterback competition still going strong.Hes got a little moxie to him thats a little bit different, Beaty said of Stanley. And hes a guy that doesnt say a whole lot right now, but in the game, he is a guy that I think hes going to have an opportunity when he does get into a football game to really show who he really is.
