Melbourne has made one change ahead of Saturday afternoon’s clash with Geelong at Skilled Stadium.

Clint Bartram comes into the side that beat Port by 11 points.  He will be looking to cement his spot in the team for the remainder of the year.  Bartram was a standout for Casey last week, amassing 31 possession and one goal in a best on ground performance.

Daniel Bell will be missing for the remainder of the season, after injuring his left AC joint during last week’s game against Port.  The gutsy defender had surgery on Tuesday to relocate and stabilise his AC joint.  He will now enter into a rehabilitation phase, and it is expected that he will be ready to resume full training when Melbourne’s 2010 pre-season commences in October.

The last time the two sides met was in Round Six this year at the MCG, with Geelong 15.21.111 defeating Melbourne 10.8.68, in front of 36,932 spectators.
