Essendon VFL has named its side to face Collingwood in their annual Anzac clash on Saturday night.
Having been substitute for three consecutive AFL matches, Saad El-Hawli returns to VFL action this week, set to bring his trademark run-and-carry.
Jayden Laverde will miss the next two matches to suspension after an incident in last week's win over Port Melbourne.
Usually at Windy Hill or Victoria Park, this year's iteration of the Anzac clash will take place at a neutral venue in ETU Stadium under lights, broadcast live on 7mate from 7pm AEST.
The game officially gets underway from 7:10pm - check out the Dons' full line-up below.
