Essendon has named its VFL side to take on Port Melbourne at ETU Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

After a big win over Collingwood last week, the Bombers will look to continue their good form as they charge towards the backend of the season.

Jye Menzie comes into the side, with last week's AFL emergency Ben Hobbs also returning to the midfield alongside the current brigade of Nick Bryan, Will Setterfield and Elijah Tsatas.

23rd man and NGA prospect Ryan Eyre slots in for his VFL debut after finishing up his tenure with the Calder Cannons last month.

The VFL clash kicks off at 2:05pm, with streaming available via the AFL website.
