In a sure boost to the team's midfield, Jones goes straight back in the lineup following his one week stint in the VFL. Defenders James Frawley and Nathan Carroll are also included, after both put in some good consistent form for Sandringham.
All ‘outs’ are injury forced changes, with Aaron Davey (foot), Daniel Bell (hamstring) and Colin Garland (hamstring) missing from the team. Brad Miller was close to a return, but it was decided to give him another week to recover from his hamstring injury.
The emergencies for the match are Jace Bode, Jeff White and Adem Yze.
The last time these two teams met was back in Round Three down at Skilled Stadium, where the Demons went down by 30 points in a competitive effort.
