Essendon have made three changes for their round 11 clash with West Coast at Optus Stadium. 

The Bombers will welcome back Jayden Laverde, Dylan Shiel and Matt Guelfi.

Laverde makes his return to the side after suffering an injury to his AC joint in round six. 

After being a late out, Shiel will also return, proving his fitness throughout the week.

Bombers fans will be excited to see small forward Guelfi make the trip to Perth. Guelfi impressed in last week's VFL match, kicking two goals in a half of football.

Alwyn Davey Jnr (omitted), Kaine Baldwin (omitted) and Andrew Phillips (managed) will all exit the side.
