With four games to play and a two game break on third placed Richmond, Melbourne could have all but sewn up a top two finish with a win at Punt Road but a terrible second half where they managed just 1.2 cost them victory and allowed the Tigers to pull within striking distance at the top of the ladder.
Tymms, Latham and Wittman were Melbourne's best.
