In their first meeting at the MCG since the ill-fated Round 1, 2013 defeat the Demons kept top four fancies Port goalless until the last few minutes of the second quarter, before the Power kicked three of the last four of the half.
Port got to within three goals in the last quarter before Melbourne kicked two goals as insurance.
Best were Viney, Jetta and Hibberd. Gawn suffered an ankle injury.
