Collingwood made a slow start and trailed by 19 points ten minutes into the first term, but from then on the Mapgies were so dominant on the day that they only made three interchanges.
Barassi said "We went down in the tradition of what Collingwood-Melbourne games are all about".
Best for Melbourne were Battiston, Hughes and Parish. Peter Giles injured his medial ligament and would miss the rest of the season. Gerard Healy also injured his collarbone.
