Essendon has named its squad to face Geelong for Tuesday night's AAMI Community Series matchup at GMHBA Stadium.

Equipped with an extended bench as per the pre-season rulings, the Dons have named 26 players to see action against the Cats, including Sam Durham and Ben McKay, who each missed the previous practice match against the Dogs.

Defender Mason Redman has been managed.

The Dons take on Geelong from 7:20pm, live on FOX and Kayo.
