A Steven May masterclass has seen Melbourne claim an important 21-point victory over a brave but injury-hit St Kilda on Saturday evening.
It might prove to be a costly night for the Saints, who lost spearhead Max King just 20 seconds into the game after re-injuring the shoulder that kept him out for the first half of the season. Adding to the pain, Seb Ross (hamstring) and Zaine Cordy (concussion) were also out of the match before half-time.

With just two healthy players on the bench for the second half, the Saints were spirited, but ultimately fell 12.7 (79) to 8.10 (58) under the roof of Marvel Stadium.
