Essendon has named its side to take on Richmond in the AFLW's marquee Dreamtime in Darwin clash.

The Bombers have opted for three changes this week, with classy winger Georgia Gee and young dasher Amber Clarke set to return from respective injuries, while Jacqui Vogt will also come back in to provide some experience for the on-ball brigade.

Forwards Paige Scott and Emily Gough, as well as last week's inclusion Lily-Rose Williamson have all been omitted this week.

The Bombers and Tigers will square off from TIO Stadium at 8:15pm AEDT (6:45pm ACST), in one of the most anticipated games of the season to date.
