MELBOURNE has dropped ruckman Brodie Grundy, West Coast regains first-year forward Ryan Maric and Fremantle will be without injured veteran Michael Walters. 

The Demons have left Grundy and midfielder James Jordon out of the side to face Hawthorn at the MCG on Sunday afternoon, preferring key defender Adam Tomlinson and young mid/forward Bailey Laurie.

Hawthorn brings in ruckman Max Ramsden and forward Ned Long, leaving out mid-season rookie Brandon Ryan. 

The Eagles regain some firepower up forward for their meeting with the Western Bulldogs with Maric and speedster Jack Petruccelle after dropping Luke Foley and Xavier O'Neill. Suspended mid Greg Clark is also out of the squad. 

The Dogs have recalled Anthony Scott to cover for the concussed Tom Liberatore, and they've also dropped livewire forward Arthur Jones. 

And Fremantle is without veteran Walters for its twilight clash with Port Adelaide. The Dockers will debut Tom Emmett and bring back Bailey Banfield, while Josh Corbett has been omitted.
