Adding to the impressiveness of the feat, the Bloods had been held to just two behinds in the quarter to trail by 25 points at half-time and be staring down the prospect of a third defeat in four games.

So, how did they do it?

Match statistics, which can be exclusively revealed by The Courier, paint a clearer picture.

After an even first quarter, East Point swung the match in its favour.

The hosts laid more tackles (32-20), had more contested marks (4-1), and pressured the Bloods into more midfield turnovers (7-15).

The fix for the Bloods was to get the ball out of congestion.

From the start of the third quarter Melton looked a different side, moving the ball out of the centre of the ground and utilising its pace on the wings.

WATCH EVERY GOAL FROM THE 84-POINT QUARTER:

Short, measured kicks became the preferred option, the Bloods winning the effective kicks count 62-30 and uncontested disposals count 62-32 for the quarter.

Lachie Watkins was the architect, racking up 10 disposals (4 contested), 5 clearances, 4 inside 50s and a goal in the 35-minute stretch.

Still, greater possession required potency in attack and all of Melton's players stood up.

The visitors had 10 different goalkickers in the quarter - Luke Heaney, Bailey Mawson, Kyle Borg and Lachlan Hickey all bagging two - to kick 14.3 from its 18 inside 50 entries.

The Bloods has three players - Watkins (64), Borg (49) and Heaney (43) - rack up over 40 ranking points for the quarter and five - Jack Walker (33), Lachlan Hickey (30), Bailey Mawson (33), Mark Orr (30), Blake Souter (34) - finishing with over 30 points.

To its credit, East Point responded in the final term, winning the tackles count 28-9 and the pressure acts count 24-20.

The Roos also had an impressive forward 50 entries - Harry Ganley and Jake Toulmin with four each for the quarter - but were only able to kick 2.6 (18).
