Melbourne has named its 34 man squad for Friday night’s double header against Richmond and North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

The Demons will unveil eleven new recruits on Friday night. Shannon Byrnes, Chris Dawes, Tom Gillies, Jesse Hogan, Matt Jones, Dean Kent, Cameron Pedersen, David Rodan, Dean Terlich, Jimmy Toumpas and Jack Viney have all been included in the squad.

Melbourne fans will get their first look at key forward Chris Dawes, who was rested for the Club’s match practice session last week.

Youngster Jesse Hogan was granted permission to play during the NAB Cup competition, but will not be eligible for the 2013 premiership season.

Melbourne will play the Roos in the first of two matches on the night, starting at 6:45 pm. Both matches will consist of two 20 minute halves.

The second match against the Tigers will start at 7:50 pm.

Memberships and merchandise will be available on the Bourke Street footbridge from 5:00 pm.
