Demons to unveil new faces against Dogs

Experienced Melbourne recruits Jordan Lewis and Jake Melksham are set to play their first games for the Demons against the Western Bulldogs.

Melbourne fans will get their first look at experienced recruits Jordan Lewis and Jake Melksham when the Demons open their pre-season competition campaign against the Western Bulldogs.

Saturday's clash at Whitten Oval will also mark the start of Simon Goodwin's tenure as senior coach after taking the reins from Paul Roos at the end of last season.

Goodwin is welcoming the higher expectations of Melbourne heading into the 2017 season, but stopped short of setting the bar at a finals appearance in his first season.
