Melbourne Team vs Nth Qld

[Earl]

This is the team I'd be tempted to go with;

1. Slater
2. Webster
3. King
4. MacDougall
5. Geyer/Bell/Cooper
6. Hill
7. Orford
8. Kearns
9. Smith
10. Chan
11. Robinson
12. Johnson
13. Kidwell/Williams

14. Hoffman
15. Reynoldson
16. Williams/Kidwell
17. Robert Tanielu

I'd go with Matt Geyer pending a fitness test. If not tough choice between Cooper and Bell.

I can't see Kearney backing up just 24 hours after the Test Match. Same with Kidwell depending on wether he plays or not.
