Six big inclusions listed for VFL Dons.
Essendon VFL will welcome back midfielder Will Setterfield and unleash mid-season draftee Saad El-Hawli for Sunday’s clash against Box Hill.
Among six inclusions this week, Dylan Shiel also returns after missing last Saturday’s Dreamtime game with illness, while the Bombers will unearth a club debutant in Calder Cannon Ryan Brodie, set to make his first appearance at VFL level as the 23rd man.
With Campbell Gray selected by Richmond in the mid-season draft earlier this week, the door’s been opened for Will Hoare to slot back into the line-up.
The Bombers take on the Hawks from Windy Hill at 1:05pm on Sunday afternoon.
