The two sides were evenly matched in the first half, with the Demons taking a one goal lead into the third quarter. It was there that they kicked 6 goals to 3 to win the game.
Melbourne kicked 10 of the last 12 goals, and Neale Daniher was understandably happy. He said "They're a very, very good team to coach at the moment, they've very self-driven, they're leading the way."
Cameron Bruce was one of the Demons best, starting in defence on Chad Cornes before moving into the midfield to rack up 29 touches.
