Essendon will be looking to overcome three heavy defeats in the past three weeks when the side faces North Melbourne in a Saturday twilight clash.
The Bombers have called upon young guns Joe Daniher and debutant Lauchie Dalgleish to refresh the side for the match at Etihad Stadium.
The last time the two teams met – in Round 20, 2013– Essendon fell short to North Melbourne, defeated 15.10 (100) to 11.10 (76).
