Melbourne looks to be finding its groove early in the season and is expected to have too much firepower when it makes the trip to face West Coast at Optus Stadium.

The Demons are coming off an impressive 50-point thrashing of Sydney, while the Eagles lost the Western Derby – and seven players to injury – in a brutal game.

Kysaiah Pickett has returned from his two-game suspension, and with Ben Brown out injured, Melbourne has recalled key forward Tom McDonald.

The Eagles have called in the big guns to replace a host of injured stars, with Elliot Yeo headlining six inclusions.

Josh Rotham (Eagles) and James Jordan (Demons) are the substitutes.
