RUCKMAN Jake Spencer has been recalled for Sunday’s twilight clash against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium, but forward Brad Miller and defender Matthew Warnock have been dropped.
The Demons finalised their side on Friday evening, naming Miller, Warnock and Addam Maric as their emergencies.
Joel Macdonald, Tom Scully, Jordie McKenzie and Spencer have been named on the interchange.
On Thursday, defender Kyle Cheney and speedster Jamie Bennell were included, although young-gun Cale Morton was omitted. Cheney will play his first match this season.
Morton has made five appearances this season, after missing the early part of 2010 with a knee injury, which he sustained in the NAB Challenge.
Bennell was a traveling emergency against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium last round.

Talented midfielder/forward Colin Sylvia will miss his third Melbourne match in a row, due to an ongoing toe problem. But he will play for Casey against Werribee at Chirnside Park on Saturday to regain some match fitness.
Skipper James McDonald, who was ruled out earlier in the week, will also be sidelined for his third consecutive game, as he continues to battle a hamstring injury.
Cheney, who debuted in round one against North Melbourne last year and played 12 matches in 2009, has been right on the cusp this season.
He has often been named as an emergency and has been among Casey’s best performers in the VFL this season.
Defender Jared Rivers will reach a personal milestone this round, lining up in his 100th AFL match.
It’s a fine effort from Rivers, considering he endured a frustrating run with injury in 2007-08, after winning the 2004 NAB AFL Rising Star.
