MELBOURNE has named a 26-man squad three days’ out from its blockbuster ANZAC Day Eve match against Richmond.
Two Demons have been ruled out of the Sunday game, with Jake Lever and Jack Viney sidelined under the AFL’s Health and Safety Protocols.
Toby Bedford, Jake Melksham, Adam Tomlinson, Luke Dunstan, Joel Smith and Ben Brown have all been named in the extended line-up, with a final team of 22 to be named tomorrow at 5:00pm (AEST).
The Demons are preparing to face the Tigers at the MCG in the seventh annual ANZAC Day Eve match, with the first bounce scheduled for 7:25pm (AEST) following a pre-game ANZAC ceremony at 6:55pm (AEST).
Melbourne will be donning its 2022 ANZAC Day Eve guernsey, which has been designed to honour the brave ANZACs who protect and serve for their country, incorporating a field of poppies as a symbol of remembrance.
Tickets for the blockbuster match are still available, which supporters can purchase here.
