MELBOURNE has made four changes for Sunday’s clash against West Coast at Etihad Stadium.
After including ruckman Mark Jamar and midfielder/forward Colin Sylvia on Thursday night, the Demons finalised their side on Friday with Cale Morton and Sam Blease in the 22.
Melbourne’s interchange now consists of Morton, Jordie McKenzie, Ricky Petterd and Blease.
Ruckman Max Gawn, dasher Daniel Nicholson and yet-to-debut tall Tom McDonald, who were all in the initial squad, have been named emergencies.
It will be Blease’s second AFL match, after he debuted against the Western Bulldogs in round 15.
This will be the fourth time this season McDonald has been named an emergency.
As already known, James Strauss (leg) and Jordan Gysberts (scaphoid) are out injured and Matthew Bate has been omitted.
Jamar missed last round with a foot injury and Sylvia had a run with Casey in the VFL.
