David Rodan, Cam Pedersen and Luke Tapscott are the casualties after Melbourne's calamitous start to the AFL season.

The Demons dropped the trio for Saturday night's shot at redemption against Essendon at the MCG, while Lynden Dunn is out with a hamstring injury.

Veteran midfielder Rodan (Port Adelaide) and Pedersen (North Melbourne) joined the Demons in the off-season.

Tapscott, like Pedersen, is a third-year player.

Co-captain Jack Trengove, speedy midfielder Aaron Davey and defender Tom McDonald will return to the side following Sunday's awful 79-point loss to Port Adelaide.

The Demons also promoted backman Dean Terlich for his AFL debut, while Essendon are unchanged.

St Kilda also made four changes, regaining a quartet of big names for Friday night's MCG clash with Richmond.

Leigh Montagna returns from suspension, while Sam Fisher, Adam Schneider and Sean Dempster are back from injury.peThe Saints lost Farren Ray (hip), Tom Hickey (foot) and James Gwilt (knee) as Trent Dennis-Lane was dropped.

Highly-rated newcomer Nick Vlastuin still cannot break into the Tigers 22 and was named as an emergency.

Former Demon Ricky Petterd will make his Richmond debut and Dylan Grimes returns at the expense of Robin Nahas and Ben Griffiths.

After Will Minson dominated them in the ruck last weekend, Brisbane regained top big man Matthew Leuenberger for Saturday's home game against Adelaide.

It will be Leuenberger's first senior match since his Achilles injury in round three last season.

Billy Longer and Aaron Cornelius, the man Brisbane hope will partner Jonathan Brown in attack, were dropped as Matt Maguire (calf) was sidelined.

Andrew Raines and Ryan Lester were the other inclusions.

Highly-rated Adelaide teenager Brad Crouch will make his AFL debut, with Ian Callinan recalled.

Veteran Graham Johncock and Brodie Martin were dropped in the wake of their poor round-one performance against Essendon.

Sydney regained premiership midfielder Craig Bird and Andrejs Everitt at the expense of Tony Armstrong and first-gamer Dane Rampe for Saturday's SCG match against Gold Coast.

The Suns lost Greg Broughton with a calf injury and Jack Hutchins will take his place.

The Western Bulldogs are unchanged and their opponents Fremantle brought in Hayden Crozier for suspended forward Hayden Ballantyne.

Port Adelaide and Greater Western Sydney made one change apiece - Power defender Alipate Carlile returns for Andrew Moore and Taylor Adams (hip) is out for Rhys Palmer.

Sunday's squads feature star Geelong pair Joel Corey and James Kelly, with the Cats losing Jared Rivers (knee) and Jordan Murdoch (hand).

Heath Shaw could return for Collingwood, who remain without stars such as Dale Thomas and Dayne Beams.

Sam Rowe is in Carlton's 25 after recovering from testicular cancer.

Hawthorn captain Luke Hodge is in their squad, but he is unlikely to resume in the away game against West Coast.
