First Goal
Paddy Mills (4th game)
After registering their first win of the season a week earlier Melbourne broke through for another victory after withstanding a goalless last quarter and wasteful kicking on goal by South. The visitors were also unlucky, with four shots hitting the post.
In the dying moments Melbourne's defenders did fine work keeping South from scoring the winning goal.
Best were Herring, Langley and E. Gardiner.
