Last Game as Coach
Neale Balme

Melbourne's first match against the Power was the last for coach Neale Balme. The former coach of the year had seen his season destroyed by injuries and a night where his side managed just three goals was the final straw for Joseph Gutnick.

Having not kicked a goal since the 7 minute mark of the third term the week before, they failed to boot one until 8 minutes into the third quarter.

Best were Clarkson, Donald Cockatoo-Collins and Stynes.
