Cale Morton, Melbourne's first selection (No 4 overall) in the 2007 National Draft, will make his debut. In an extra twist to the story, Cale will line up against his older brother Mitch, who was traded from the Eagles to the Tigers in last year's trade period.

Some Melbourne regulars who will be playing their first game for 2008 when they take on the Tigers include Brad Miller, Brent Moloney and Aaron Davey.
