Ruthless Melbourne have flexed their premiership muscle to put themselves in the box seat for a top two finish with a 58-point AFL mauling of Brisbane in Friday's clash at the Gabba.
Boosted by a four-goal display from Kysaiah Pickett, the premiers simply blew away the Lions on their own turf in what was essentially a top-four shootout, sauntering to a 18.7 (115) to 8.9 (57) victory.
