Melbourne's Steven May sidelined with fractured larynx

Melbourne will not have Steven May for their season-opener against the Giants due to a fractured larynx. He was injured during training on Friday, and scans confirmed the injury. Tom McDonald will replace May in the lineup. The team's medical staff is still assessing how long May will be out, but they believe his injury is less severe than Max Gawn's earlier this year. Harvey Langford, the No.6 draft pick, will serve as the substitute for the match.
