IN: Fritsch, May
OUT: M.Brown (omitted), Petty (omitted)
MELBOURNE’S Round 6 line-up is set to be bolstered at both ends of the field, with key duo Bayley Fritsch and Steven May returning to face the Tigers.
The pair, who missed last Sunday’s win over Hawthorn with hand and head injuries respectively, have passed fitness tests this week to earn their spot for the ANZAC Day Eve match at the MCG.
Mitch Brown and Harry Petty are the unlucky two to miss selection, being omitted after their first hit-outs at senior level this season.
Those boys will be in action for the Casey Demons from 2pm at the Swinbourne Centre, prior to Melbourne’s Saturday night clash with Richmond.
Petty, Kade Chandler, Tom Sparrow and Sam Weideman make up the emergency list for the sixth edition of this special match.
For the first time in its history, the Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes medal will be up for grabs, awarded to the player deemed best afield.
The night will be made even more special for Demons fans, with the club celebrating Nathan Jones’ 300th game milestone, while Angus Brayshaw chalks up game No.100 as well.
