Lipinski out with concussion. Shoota out with a hammy.
McStay likely available, and if Schultz and Lipinski hadn't been injured I'd say he should just skip this one and come back after the bye. Melbourne don't seem to use a second ruck whatsoever, but that said, we had been desperate for a Cox replacement.
Mitchell available but would need a blinder against Box Hill tomorrow. Not sure I'd have him in the same side as Long anyway.
I'd go Hayes and McStay for Lipinski and Shoota. But Hayes sub.
