Preview:

Melbourne play the Sydney Swans on Saturday night, 7.40PM at the MCG.  This is one of the more uneven matches of round 6, with the Swans almost guaranteed to take home the points.  Despite an average 2-3 season start, the Swans had a confidence-boosting win over Fremantle last round and will be more than keen to keep the momentum going.  The Demons have only won a single match so far in 2014, and that total doesn’t look like increasing this weekend.

News:

Sydney star Adam Goodes will play his first AFL game since round 13 last year when he returns to the team for Saturday night’s game against Melbourne.

The return of the two-time Brownlow Medallist is a timely boost for the Swans, who have had to deal with Lance Franklin’s Wednesday night car accident.

Brandon Jack will make way for Goodes.

Melbourne ruckman Mark Jamar will also play his first game since round 11 last year.

Shannon Byrnes was recalled and Christian Salem will make his AFL debut.

The Demons dropped Jordie McKenzie, Jake Spencer and Michael Evans.

Essendon have gambled ahead of the Anzac Day blockbuster against Collingwood, picking Courtenay Dempsey for his first game of the season after he returned from a club-imposed suspension.

Jason Winderlich and Zach Merrett are also back, while the Bombers lost Heath Hocking (soreness) and David Myers (hamstring) and dropped Leroy Jetta.

Collingwood will start favourites and are unchanged.

Winless Brisbane made five changes for the Anzac Day match in Wellington against St Kilda.

Daniel Merrett will return from suspension and Pearce Hanley, Andrew Raines, James Polkinghorne and Josh Green were recalled.

The Lions axed Brent Moloney, Jordan Lisle, Rohan Bewick, Mitch Golby and Jackson Paine.

The Saints brought in Shane Savage to replace Adam Schneider, who is suspended.

North Melbourne have named Jack Ziebell for his first game since a shoulder injury in round two, but star midfielder Daniel Wells is out with a foot injury for the Anzac Day game in Perth against Fremantle.

They also named key forward Majak Daw, Robin Nahas and Joel Tippett.

Scott Thompson is suspended and the `Roos dropped Daniel Currie and Ben Jacobs.

Tom Sheridan and Hayden Crozier come in for the Dockers, who will be without suspended star Hayden Ballantyne and have left out Matt Taberner.

Carlton will regain plenty of experience for Saturday’s game against West Coast.

Michael Jamison, Brock McLean, Jeff Garlett and Mitch Robinson will return for Chris Judd (hamstring), Ed Curnow (leg), Tom Bell (finger) and Patrick Cripps, who was dropped.

West Coast named Will Schofield, Scott Lycett and Jeremy McGovern for suspended captain Darren Glass, Xavier Ellis (calf) and Josh Hill.
