After a scrappy first half where both teams made numerous mistakes, the Demons kicked away with an eight goal to two third quarter. That gave them a decisive break, and after losing so many games in recent years at Docklands this was Melbourne's second win in three starts.
Best were Watts, Petracca and Viney.
