Essendon has named three changes to face St Kilda in Saturday's round 20 clash at Marvel Stadium.

The Bombers will be bolstered by experience, with star midfielder Darcy Parish headlining the inclusions. After recovering from a calf strain in round 10 and a subsequent setback in rehabilitation, Essendon's No.3 will be a welcome addition in the side's midfield brigade.

After being omitted from last week's side against Adelaide, both forward Peter Wright and defender Dyson Heppell have been recalled for Saturday's twilight clash.

The Bombers have named ruckman Todd Goldstein (omitted), utility Jake Kelly (achilles) and forward Matt Guelfi (hamstring) as the outs.
