In a match between top and bottom four certainties, Melbourne stuck with the Blues far longer than anyone could have expected, going into half time just six points behind. Class won out in the end, but it was an encouraging performance from the Reds in their second last engagement of the year.
Bert Avery was found guilty of 'violent pushing'.
