MELBOURNEfc will head into its final NAB Challenge match against Geelong with a near full-strength side.

Into the 28 man squad comes Brock McLean, playing his first match of the year after recovering from a groin injury, along with Byron Pickett, who will be a welcome addition in the red and blue colors, as well as Ben Holland, who has overcome a corked hip.

2006 draftee Colin Garland will make his second pre-season appearance for the year, while Simon Buckley and James Frawley have both retained their spots in the squad, and will aim to impress for a Round One berth.

James McDonald and Brad Green will not be playing.

Be there at Skilled Stadium on Saturday 17 March. The game kicks off at 2.10 pm, with gates opening at 10.30 am.
