RICHMOND and Melbourne have each made five changes to their winning round one teams, with all of the Demons' changes due to the AFL's heath and safety protocols. 

Valued Richmond recruit Poppy Kelly will miss due to a knee injury sustained in last week's win over St Kilda, and debutant Emelia Yassir - who received a head knock late in the same game - will also miss. 

Intercepting defender Sarah D'Arcy headlined three outs due to health and safety protocols, alongside Maddie Shevlin and dangerous forward Tayla Stahl. 

Meg Macdonald has been named to make her debut, after recently being elevated to the main list with Ilish Ross ruled inactive for the season.

Melbourne will lose the experience of Maddi Gay, Shelley Scott, Sarah Lampard, Casey Sherriff and Shelley Heath who all played key roles last week against the Bulldogs. 

They will gain both Irish recruits in Sinead Goldrick and Lauren Magee, alongside Gabrielle Colvin and Eliza McNamara, who were all unavailable for selection last week due to health and safety protocols, while also naming crafty small forward Krstel Petrevski who was an emergency last week.  

Both sides have dipped into train on players to name emergencies due to limited player availability.
