After two losses in a row the Demons finally regained some form against a desperately out of form Maybloom outfit who had been all but deserted by their supporters in cold, windy rain.
With the match being played in slushy conditions it was not of a high standard, but that didn't matter for Melbourne who were happy just to get the four points.
Baggott, Smith and Lock were best.
