Collingwood went in favourites and Melbourne stuck with them through an even first half before the Magpies kicked away in the third quarter.
When wet weather began to impact performance in the second half and made the ball hard to handle the visitors took over, continuing to play as if it were a dry weather match while Melbourne fumbled.
Best were Purse, Gardiner and H. Cordner.
