Dons add experience ahead of Sunday blockbuster.
Essendon has made two changes to its round 13 team to take on Carlton at the MCG.
After being named in the starting squad on Thursday, veteran ruckman Todd Goldstein will return after being managed last week against Gold Coast.
Midfielder Will Setterfield will face his old side for the first time in Bombers colours after being named in the final 23, lining up for his first AFL match since round four.
With Mason Redman having been ruled out with a hamstring strain, young ruckman Nick Bryan is the only omission from Sunday’s team.
