Despite going in as favourites Melbourne started slowly against North, and struggled for the first half before drawing away in the seconds thanks to Bob Johnson's dominant goalkicking performance.
Johnson was best, along with Usher and Esposito.
The win left Melbourne in fourth on percentage, a game behind Collingwood and equal to Carlton, Geelong and Richmond.
