MELBOURNE will go into Saturday’s JLT Community Series clash against Carlton without Jack Trengove, leaving the former co-captain one match to earn selection ahead of round one.
Trengove, who was left out of the Demons’ pre-season opener against the Western Bulldogs, was one of two late omissions, alongside defender Colin Garland, who is also yet to feature in the JLT Community Series.
Carlton, which is opening its pre-season campaign against the Demons, cut Dennis Armfield, Cameron Polson and Jed Lamb from its squad of 29.
Melbourne named a squad of 28 and only needed to make two late omissions on Saturday.
