Essendon has named its VFL side to face Coburg in the final match of the season.
Five AFL-listed players headline a total of seven changes for the Bombers, with swingman James Stewart returning from an adductor strain setback.
Nick Bryan, Will Snelling, Sam Weideman and Alwyn Davey Jnr have all been named for VFL action due to the AFL inclusions of Jake Stringer and Sam Draper.
Livewire forward Tex Wanganeen will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a foot injury in the Bomber's loss to Southport a fortnight ago.
The Bombers will take on Coburg at DSV Stadium this Saturday at 4pm, with streaming available via the AFL website.
