Melbourne has made four changes prior to their Queensland trip to take on the SUNS.
Rookie Viv Michie was elevated earlier this week in place of Mitch King, who has been placed on the long-term injury list with a season-ending knee injury.
He’ll be joined by Colin Garland, Billy Stretch and the round one NAB AFL Rising Star nominee, Clayton Oliver, on Saturday.
The changes come off the back of Melbourne’s 39-point loss to St Kilda and the loss of Christian Salem and Heritier Lumumba to concussion.
Round 7 will be just the second time Melbourne have played at Metricon Stadium, the last being round 13, 2013, when the SUNS won by 13 points.
