In their first visit to the MCG the Suns put up a fight against the Demons but despite a last quarter rally fell short, giving Todd Viney his first victory as Melbourne coach.
Best were Blease, Garland and Jones.
Jeremy Howe replaced Liam Jurrah when Jurrah injured his wrist during the third quarter.
