LATE CHANGE
Melbourne has been dealt a heavy blow before the bounce.
Jack Viney is out after experiencing early signs of stress in his toe. It’s an injury that has hampered him for around a year.
Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney said he expects Viney to return “during the latter part of the season”.
Mitch Hannan comes into the 22.
The Bulldogs are unchanged.

THE BUILD-UP
Melbourne is the raging favourite for this one.
But as any Demon fan will tell you – that’s a danger sign.
The Bulldogs are missing a host of key players, led by Easton Wood, Marcus Bontempelli, Matt Suckling, and Tom Boyd.
Can they spring an upset? Or will the Demons rise to expectation?
