A week after getting their season back on track with a win, Melbourne found their forwards badly out of touch and had their score doubled by the Magpies.
Collingwood put out a better team, and they easily kept their visitors at bay until half time when Melbourne started to play better despite the margin extending by a point.
Best were Bowe, Moriarty and Parkin.
