The Demons have made three changes ahead of their Round 18 clash with the Tigers.
Key defenders James Frawley and Jack Grimes, along with exciting midfielder Neville Jetta, come into the team that lost narrowly to the Swans last week.
Of the outs, Liam Jurrah has failed to overcome his ankle injury, and newcomer Jordie McKenzie will miss with a calf injury. Midfielder Brent Moloney has been troubled by a groin complaint during the week, and was a late withdrawal from the final team announced Friday afternoon.
The emergencies for the match are Jake Spencer, Colin Sylvia and Simon Buckley.
