Midfield the key battle

Sunraysia Daily

MILDURA will make a last-minute decision on who to leave out of their side for today’s SFNL second semi-final against Ouyen ­United.

The Demons named a 22-man team with Chris Morrell, Kane Dawson and Ben Camilleri as inclusions, with Dylan Murphy and Jeremy Rodi coming out of the side.

Coach Mark Alvey said late yesterday the team likely would not be finalised until shortly before the first bounce at 2.30pm, with one of the three additions to miss out.

“It is tight for spots – this is the first time this year we’ve had close to a full squad,” Alvey said.

“Every single week we’ve had two or more changes, but we’re really close to full strength now.
