THE QUIRK of the Anzac Day Round schedule has created a lot of mystery about the make-up of Melbourne's team for Tuesday night's blockbuster against Richmond.
Off the back of the Demons' 67-point hiding at the hands of Hawthorn, Bernie Vince, Jeff Garlett, Tom Bugg and Bayley Fritsch have all been named in an extended squad for the Casey Demons.
The VFL side is scheduled to play Richmond on Sunday at 2pm AEST at Punt Road Oval.
All four played in the loss to the Hawks.
Garlett was the Demons' lowest possession getter with just five disposals.
Vince had 13 touches and laid three tackles, while Bugg registered 19 disposals and laid six tackles. Youngster Fritsch had 14 disposals at 71.4 percent efficiency.
Notably, Jayden Hunt and Billy Stretch are listed as outs for the Demons VFL team, and could be in contention to move up to the senior side.
Hunt was sensationally dropped to the VFL ahead of the round three clash with North Melbourne, with coach Simon Goodwin sighting pressure for positions at the time.
The defender was best on field in Casey's 16-point win over Werribee last weekend.
Wingman Stretch hasn't played a senior game so far this year, but impressed with 22 disposals in the VFL and is pushing his case hard for a senior spot.
Melbourne faces the reigning premiers on Tuesday night at 7.25pm AEST in what is fast becoming a traditional Anzac Day Eve clash at the MCG.
Teams for the AFL game aren't due to be named until Monday.
