Essendon has named one change for its round two clash with Sandringham in Sunday's VFL/VFLW double header at Trevor Barker Oval.

The Bombers have replaced AFL-selected forward Jake Stringer with Will Snelling, who will play his first official game for 2023.

Essendon will look to back up their 80-point round one win over GWS with a victory over Sandringham who will be searching for their first win of the season.

Forward Matt Guelfi will be sidelined this weekend after suffering hamstring soreness at training. Further investigation will take place over the weekend, details of which will be released in the coming days.
