Essendon has made two changes for its side to face Gold Coast this Sunday.
As noted by Senior Coach Brad Scott earlier in the week, key forward Harrison Jones will come straight back into the Bombers' line-up after serving his one-week suspension, while last week's debutant Nate Caddy has been ruled out for the trip north due to illness.
After impressing in the VFL since his return from a shoulder injury a few weeks ago, Jye Menzie has been recalled to senior action for his sixth AFL appearance this season.
Alwyn Davey Jnr will make way this week, listed in the emergencies alongside Nick Bryan and Archie Roberts.
The Bombers take on the Suns from 4pm AEST at People First Stadium on Sunday afternoon, live on FOX and Kayo.
