Melbourne will look to keep themselves in the finals race as they host West Coast this afternoon.
They have fallen off the pace with three losses in their last five — not helped by the season ending injury to Christian Petracca — but a win could see them jump back into the top eight.
West Coast have lost their last five games, with their finals chances all but obsolete, with a grim 94-33 loss at home to Hawthorn summing up their season.
