Jurrah was a late withdrawal from last round’s loss against Hawthorn due to illness.
The player who replaced him, Jamie Bennell, has been left out of the side this round.

Defender Clint Bartram, ruckman Max Gawn and yet-to-debut first-year Demon Tom McDonald are the emergencies.
Melbourne has made no other changes for its trip down the highway.
The Demons will be aiming to win their first clash at Geelong since round 20, 2005, when they produced a stunning come-from-behind win.
