Get them in: Dom Tyson and Angus Brayshaw were overlooked at the selection table for the game against the Cats, but both are likely to press hard to be included in the team for Saturday's game against the Lions. Sam Frostand Tom Bugg will also be thereabouts.

Under the pump: Second-gamer Corey Maynard was well beaten by Geelong superstar Gary Ablett when he was switched on to him. Mitch Hannan and Jeff Garlett were also quiet in attack, while Josh Wagner looked a little vulnerable in defence.

Medical room: Jack Viney (foot) and Tom McDonald (toe) are still weeks away from returning, which is a blow for Melbourne.

Verdict: Tyson and Brayshaw for Maynard and Hannan seems the likely scenario. Frost could also come into the team to allow Jake Lever to play more as an intercept defender after his poor first showing for the club on Sunday. - Ben Guthrie
