JUST about the only way you can get Leigh Broxham to take a break is a suspension.
The Melbourne Victory vice-captain will miss Saturday night's AAMI Park clash with Sydney FC after receiving his eighth yellow card of the season in the 1-0 loss to Brisbane Roar at the weekend.
But no one could begrudge the 26-year-old a rest as he has been Victory's marathon man for the past month.

Broxham played a staggering 687 minutes in the space of 29 days as Victory contested eight games between February 22 (against Adelaide) and March 22 (against Roar).
The only minutes for which he was sidelined came in last Tuesday's Asian Champions League win against Yokohama F. Marinos, when he was substituted in the 57th minute for Mark Milligan.
Milligan, Victory's captain, is another who has had a power of work of late.
Not only has he been involved in four A-League games and three Champions League games for a total of 573 minutes, he flew to London to play for the Socceroos in the March 6 friendly against Ecuador. He played 90 minutes that night, too.

All the while Milligan has nursed a suspect knee, surgery on which sidelined him for the best part of a month this year.
In all, Victory has six players who have played more than 500 minutes in its past eight games: Broxham, Milligan, James Troisi, Lawrence Thomas, Archie Thompson and Jason Geria.
Only Broxham, Troisi and Kosta Barbarouses (463 minutes) featured in all eight games, which featured trips to China, Perth and Brisbane.
With no Champions League game this week, coach Kevin Muscat said his players would enjoy a few days to recover.
"It's been a hard slog," he said. "I think we've embraced playing in the Asian Champions League and our A-League form has been good. It'll be nice now to try and freshen the boys up."
