A week after the side had booted 23.8 in tricky conditions, Melbourne was more inaccurate in the calmer environs of Docklands.
From 13 kick-ins, the Demons scored 3.2 - the best result for any team that week.
After playing every game of his debut season, Aaron Davey suffered a torn hamstring.
Phil Read continued his good form by beating Scott West and winning 24 touches of his own.
