9.40pm: Dons 137 - 35 Dees and Port 83 - 57 GWS
THE embarrassment that is Melbourne Football Club has somehow collapsed to a new low, falling more than 100 points behind Essendon at the last change.
The Bombers piled on 8.5 to 1.0 in the third term to completely destroy Mark Neeld's side.
And the coach made a statement to the horribly out-of-form No. 1 draft pick Jack Watts, substituting him out of the match.
Jobe Watson has had 29 disposals and pushed the lead into three figures, while Stewie Crameri (six goals) and Tom Bellchambers (four) have done the damage up forward.
Meanwhile, Port Adelaide has kicked 26 points clear of GWS aftr a shaky start at AAMI Stadium.
9pm: Dons 84 - 29 Dees and Port 57 - 41 GWSTHE Dons have slammed their foot on the pedal to shoot nine goals clear of Melbourne at the main break at the MCG.
The Dees laid just 20 tackles in the first half and allowed Essendon far too much space.
Tom Bellchambers slammed home four majors, while Dyson Heppell and Jobe Watson have been the chief midfield destroyers.

No. 1 draft pick Lachie Whitfield is off to a marked improvement in his second match.
PRE-GAME:NICK Kommer's brilliant AFL debut two weeks ago might have kept in the Bombers' side, but couldn't save him from the substitute vest ahead of tonight's clash with Melbourne at the MCG.
Kommer was lively in the Round 1 win against Adelaide, kicking the sealer late in the fourth quarter.
Aaron Davey, surprisingly left out of Melbourne's side last week, will no longer have to start his season in the green vest.
The Dees lost tagger Jordie McKenzie at the last minute, due to a calf injury sustained in the warm-up.
He's been replaced by David Rodan, who will now don the green vest instead of Davey.
