Top goalkicker Harry Brereton, coming off an eight goal haul against Richmond, and captain Alf George battled flu during the week and George missed but his teammates covered his absence to give the Reds a second vital win in a row to end the first half of the season.
St Kilda won comfortably in the ruck but Melbourne's positional players were superior.
Best were Monk, Harris and McKenzie.
