Dees forced to make late change for Tigers clash. LIVE from 3.15pm AEST
MELBOURNE has brought Jack Melksham into its side for its clash against Richmond after Harrison Petty was forced to withdraw.
Petty is a late out due to a hamstring issue, while Bayley Fritsch was withdrawn on Saturday despite being named in the original side, with Aidan Johnson coming in for him.
Melbourne surged back into the top-four race with a stunning start against Hawthorn last Saturday before taking the foot off the accelerator in the second half and losing some of the percentage gains it briefly held.
The Demons will still be riding high from a first interstate victory this year and now return to their happy hunting ground at home where they have won all eight matches this season.
