MELBOURNE will enter Sunday’s clash against GWS Giants at the MCG with the 22 that defeated West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium last round.
The Demons finalised their side on Friday, naming Charlie Spargo, Dom Tyson, Dean Kent and Mitch Hannan on the interchange.
Cameron Pedersen, Jay Kennedy Harris, Tomas Bugg and Josh Wagner have been named emergencies.
Pedersen and Kennedy Harris were also the travelling emergencies for last Sunday’s win in the west.
Wagner hasn’t played since round five, while Bugg hasn’t featured since round four. Both have been in strong form at Casey.
Melbourne’s 13th win of the season last round secured the red and blue a place in this year’s finals series – for the first time since 2006.
The Demons could finish anywhere from fourth to eighth on the ladder, depending on whether they win or lose, and with other results.
This will be the first-time Melbourne plays GWS this year.
