The Demons grabbed their third, and last win, of 2008 with an uninspiring win over fellow cellar dwellars West Coast.
Cale Morton made it a perfect three for three in '08 by being the third Melbourne player (after Austin Wonaeamirri and Colin Garland) to be nominated after a Demon win.
Best were Morton, Bruce and McDonald.
