RICHMOND has made a late change for its Sunday clash with Adelaide with young star Sam Grlj replaced in the selected side by Luke Trainor.<\/p>\n

The Tigers have decided to manage the round seven Rising Star nominee, who has played every game since making his debut in round two against Carlton.<\/p>\n

The Tigers can now make the most of the renewed momentum that comes with a winning feeling as they takes on a Crows outfit that it has matched up well against in recent years, with four victories in their past six meetings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adelaide (4-4) snatched victory from the jaws of defeat more than once in a memorable Showdown clash with Port Adelaide as it continues to improve its recent record in games decided by under a goal.<\/p>\n

The Crows will be eager to build on their improving record at the MCG after winning three of their past four matches since snapping a 10-match losing streak at the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Tigers welcome back midfielder Tim Taranto from concussion in a straight swap for Dion Prestia (calf), while the Crows have regained captain Jordan Dawson and defender Nick Murray, as Taylor Walker and Jordon Butts go out with injuries.<\/p>\n

MELBOURNE has been forced to swing a late change for its clash with West Coast, with swingman Daniel Turner withdrawn due to illness.<\/p>\n

Turner has played all but one game this season, kicking a goal last week against Sydney.<\/p>\n

Andy Moniz-Wakefield comes in for his first game since round 21, 2024, and his first at the top level since rupturing his ACL in a preseason clash last year.<\/p>\n

The half-back has been averaging 25.4 disposals in the VFL this year under new coach Rhett McLennan.<\/p>\n

He joins Jake Bowey in being named for the first time in 2026, returning from a Lisfranc injury following managed minutes in the VFL last week.<\/p>\n

The Demons host the struggling Eagles at Marvel Stadium in the first of two games on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Demons (5-3) would have lost few admirers as it stayed within reach of Sydney until deep into the final term before falling short in an entertaining shootout against the ladder leaders.<\/p>\n

Melbourne has greater longer-term goals but can ill afford a slip-up against the Eagles as they continue their surprising push for a finals spot with a tougher month of games to come.<\/p>\n

DEMONS v EAGLES Follow it LIVE<\/a><\/p>\n

West Coast (2-6) hit a new low as it failed to outscore Richmond in either of the first two terms last week to make it a club record 19 ‘losing’ quarters in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the Eagles mounted an unlikely challenge late, they were unable to snatch victory from the Tigers to leave alarm bells ringing as a promising start to the season fades from memory after five humbling defeats. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dees have made just one change, with premiership defender Jake Bowey returning for his first game of the season in place of the hamstrung Brody Mihocek.<\/p>\n

The Eagles have added Harry Edwards, Jack Hutchinson and Harvey Johnston to their side, replacing dropped pair Elijah Hewett and Harry Schoenberg, and injured small forward Matt Owies.<\/p>\n
