Kysaiah Pickett has kicked the sealer in the final minute as Melbourne overcame the loss of Brody Mihocek to a neck injury in an enthralling eight-point win over Collingwood.
Pickett starred in the first half and Bayley Fritsch kicked three late goals for the Demons in their 12.11 (83) to 11.9 (75) victory in front of 88,019 fans at the MCG on Monday.
But there is concern for Mihocek, who was taken to hospital after he was accidentally hurt in a tackle from Billy Frampton.
A premiership Pie, Mihocek was playing his first match against his former team when he went head-first into the turf in the second quarter.
Play was held up for almost 10 minutes before Mihocek was driven off the field, but in a positive sign, the 33-year-old was moving his arms and communicating with medical staff.
