Shea Ili sat the second half under his management plan. "He didn't get injured, which is pleasing," said Melbourne United coach Jacob Chance. A couple of others are on plans; two days off "will be big" for them. Asked if one half was always the plan: "I won't disclose that."
Austin Shelley got the start of the third quarter for Melbourne United with Shea Ili sitting out the second half under his management plan. "I throw him in the fire there at the start of the 3rd quarter, but he has no fear," coach Jacob Chance said.
Shea Ili missed Melbourne United's first game against Adelaide. Now he's available to guard Bryce Cotton. "Yeah, it's certainly a luxury," coach Jacob Chance said. From United's media availability: Cotton will see a rotation of defenders, Cole Anthony among them.
