The Blues have made three changes to their side for Sunday’s clash against Melbourne at the MCG.

Young defender Caleb Marchbank has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, replaced by fellow youngster Harrison Macreadie, while Jed Lamb will make his return to the field after being sidelined with concussion. 

Sam Petrevski-Seton also comes into the side, while Nick Graham and Liam Sumner have been omitted. Graham, Ciaran Byrne and Harry McKay have been named as emergencies.

The Demons claimed a 22-point victory in Round 2 earlier this season in a fiery clash between the two sides. The ball will bounce at 3:20pm on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.
