VETERAN ruckman Jeff White will yet again be forced to head to the VFL to prove he deserves a place in Melbourne's best 22 after he was left him out of the team to face the Western Bulldogs at Telstra Dome on Sunday.
The 2004 All-Australian ruckman was included on the Demons' seven-man interchange on Thursday night but he has since been demoted to the emergencies list.
The last-placed Dees have brought back Daniel Bell, Cale Morton and Michael Newton at the expense of the injured Brock Mclean, who will not play again this season, and the omitted Jace Bode and Aaron Davey.
The Western Bulldogs, flying in second position on the AFL Ladder, have made just one change, losing Ryan Griffen for personal reasons and replacing him with Jarrod Harbrow.
West Coast has swung the axe ahead of its appointment with Richmond at Subiaco on Sunday, with Brent Staker heading the list of four outs. He will be joined in the WAFL by Jaymie Graham, Jamie McNamara and Will Schofield.
It is a handy list of ins for the Eagles, as premiership trio Michael Braun, Brett Jones and David Wirrpanda join rising talent Josh Kennedy back in the side.
Richmond has been dealt a blow ahead of the Eagles clash, being forced to leave out Matthew Richardson, with the hamstring he injured in last fortnight's loss to Carlton failing to come up in time.
Graham Polak (brain injury) and Chris Hyde also go out of the team, while Daniel Connors, Luke McGuane and Jay Schulz have been named in the 22.
The Sydney Swans have brought back Adam Goodes for its match with Hawthorn at the MCG on Sunday, with the suspended Barry Hall making way for the dual Brownlow medallist.
Hawthorn has been able to recall key trio Brad Sewell, Chance Bateman and Simon Taylor, however they have lost Jordan Lewis, who has been left out with a quad injury and Brent Renouf to suspension.
Tim Clarke has been omitted from the team which belted West Coast by 10 goals in round 14, while forward Tim Boyle, who wasn’t named in the original 25, comes in at the expense of youngster Josh Kennedy.
