INS: Van Rooyen, Lever
OUTS: Petty, Howes (concussion)
MELBOURNE has made two changes ahead of Round 17, as the Demons head to Adelaide Oval to face an in-form Crows outfit.
Jacob van Rooyen and Jake Lever both return to the senior side after a weekend in the VFL, as Blake Howes and Harrison Petty miss after entering the AFL’s concussion protocols.
Van Rooyen impressed with a standout goal in the second quarter of the VFL match, outmuscling his opponent in a one-on-one contest before bursting clear and finishing into an open goal. Lever was equally influential, collecting a game-high 13 marks in the loss to Gold Coast.
