With a 64-point thrashing of Brisbane, Melbourne has recovered its mojo and is once again the AFL flag favorite for this season.
At the MCG on Thursday night, the Demons won 16.21 (117) to 7.11 (53), breaking a three-game losing skid and replacing the Lions at the top of the standings.
The Demons, who had trailed for just the 2nd time this season at the quarter, lay the foundation for their triumph with a devastating six-goal second quarter.
Melbourne dominated in contested possession (170-133), replicating their domination against the Lions in the qualifying final from the previous year, and outclassed their opponents in stoppages (35-21).
Following three losses by a cumulative score of 29 points, the Lions suffered their worst defeat of the season with no obvious individual winners.
