Jake Melksham is a chance to return against the Bombers, with match committee to lock in their selections following Thursday's main session.

The Demons will be paying tribute to Neale Daniher following Wednesday's funeral service, wearing dedicated Daniher guernseys for the clash against his former club Essendon. 

A standing ovation will take place six minutes into the clash, representing Neale's playing number.
