Six changes ahead of VFL double header at Windy Hill.
Essendon will see Nick Bryan return to the side after spending last week in the AFL against Gold Coast. The young ruckman will look to continue his stellar form so far in 2024.
Archie Roberts will also return after being the travelling emergency for the AFL’s trip to Queensland.
Both Alwyn Davey and Nate Caddy will look to offer some extra spark forward of the ball.
Oskar Smartt will also look to continue his impressive season, with the small forward returning to the side.
Tom Toma will make his long awaited return to the side, looking to recapture some of his early season form.
The Bombers take on the Carlton from Windy Hill at 2:05pm on Sunday afternoon.
