Melbourne has announced itself as a genuine top-10 contender with a stunning upset victory over Gold Coast at the MCG.
The Demons moved to 3-1 with the Suns win backing up victories over St Kilda and Carlton, in between a loss to Fremantle.
New coach Steven King has brought a new and exciting game plan and the Dees' new-look midfield has looked in-sync and dangerous, with star Kysaiah Pickett finishing with 25 disposals and a goal to continue a strong start to the season.
Recruit Jack Steele has also proven a masterstroke move, and was one of Melbourne's best in Round 4, helping his side win contested possessions by 21 and clearances by nine.
With Essendon, Brisbane and Richmond in the next three weeks, the Dees are every chance of moving to 6-2 and are playing the sort of footy that has many believing they can return to September action.
Meanwhile, it continues a frustrating trend of struggling to win at the MCG for the Suns even at a time where they are viewed by some as premiership frontrunners.
Further souring the day, young Sun Jake Rogers could land himself in hot water with the match review officer for a second quarter tackle on Christian Salem.
The incident will likely be graded as careless and high contact, with low impact to result in a fine and medium impact to lead to a one-week sanction.
