Essendon has named it VFL side to take on Werribee in round eight.
The Bombers will be without Kaine Baldwin (AFL) and Zach Reid (Hamstring), changing the look of the backline from last week's game.
A tall task awaits as the Lions enter the game undefeated. Essendon meanwhile will be looking to build on their two wins in their first interstate game for the year.
First bounce is at 12:05pm at Brighton Homes Arena.
