Footy returns to Alice Springs as Melbourne venture into the red centre to take on GWS. Join The Roar for live scores from 3:20pm (AEST).
The Demons have recalled Ben Brown for this clash after a lengthy stay in the VFL, with emerging youngster Jacob van Rooyen a surprise omission following last week’s loss to Geelong.
The Giants, meanwhile, are coming off the bye, having beaten Fremantle comprehensively in their last encounter; they will be without wingman Lachie Whitfield through suspension.

Roar Rookie
Giants were clean handling the ball, given the conditions. Melbourne continued their fumbling and why they ever expected Brown, Harmes and Melksham to be their salvation in this game I will never know. Morons on the selection panel.
