Demons forward Bayley Fritsch will be dropped from his side's clash with St Kilda after arriving late to training.
SEN's Andy Maher confirmed the impending omission on SENโs Bob and Andy.
โWeโve spoken to Melbourne and the story is spot on,โ Maher said.
โBayley Fritsch was late to the captainโs run and is going to be dropped this week. He didnโt break COVID rules and Melbourne is stressing that.
โHow does that happen in the hub? Theyโre in Maroochydore, heโs not on the bus so youโd think heโd be noticed.
โThat is a tough, tough line to take. Bayley Fritsch is out of the Melbourne game due to tardiness and wonโt play (on Saturday).โ
Confirmed by @melbournefc Bayley Fritsch was late to a training session and will miss this weekend's clash against @stkildafc

Fritsch has played every game so far this season and booted 17 goals, the most of any Demon.
Melbourne go head-to-head with St Kilda at TIO Traeger Park on Saturday night at 7.40pm AEST.
