The Demons have named Matthew Warnock, Ricky Petterd and Addam Maric as their emergencies.
The Dees will be looking to record back-to-back wins, after smashing Gold Coast Suns by 90 points at the Gabba in round four.
This round’s match against West Coast will be a big challenge for the red and blue, considering it has not won at Patersons Stadium (formerly Subiaco Oval) since 2004.
The last time Melbourne defeated West Coast at the venue was 2002.
This is Melbourne’s only Thursday night clash for the season, starting at 6.40pm local time (8.40pm Melbourne time).
Ruckman Mark Jamar will play his 100th match for the Demons.
