Melbourne has regained Tayla Harris in time for its finals-shaping clash against Brisbane at Brighton Homes Arena on Saturday night.
The star forward returns after a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury along with Rhi Watt and Jordi Ivey, with Charlotte Wilson, Georgia Campbell and debutant Georgia Gall omitted for the trip north.
After securing the McClelland Trophy, Melbourne can also finish top of the ladder with a win over the Lions and secure access to its first ever home grand final, while Brisbane has made three changes as it attempts to hang onto its top four spot.

The Lions have regained Sophie Conway from hamstring tightness along with Cathy and Ruby Svarc, leaving out Mikayla Pauga, Analea McKee and Bella Smith following the disappointing loss to St Kilda last weekend.
Essendon has regained Georgia Gee for its crucial Friday night clash against Gold Coast in Mackay, with Ashleigh Van Loon making way.
The Suns have been dealt a hefty blow as they fight the Bombers for a chance at a maiden top four berth, with Charli Rowbottom out due to an ankle injury along with Elise Barwick (concussion) and Ashanti Bush (personal reason).
Gold Coast could entirely miss the finals with a loss to the Bombers due to the crowded fringe of the top eight.
In pursuit of a shock finals berth in their second season, the Swans have regained midfielder Paige Sheppard from concussion for their clash against Fremantle in WA, but Paris McCarthy is out due to injury.
Collingwood is still in the hunt for finals also but will need to beat the Tigers without Ruby Schleicher (PCL injury) but Ash Brazill returns to the side.
Richmond has lost Gabby Seymour to an ankle syndesmosis injury for the Sunday afternoon clash at Victoria Park.
