Essendon has confirmed its side for the round four clash with the Southern Saints.

After playing the last three matches as the 23rd player, Lauren Caruso has made the starting line-up at the back pocket.

Key forward Danielle Ponter will not play against the Saints, while Oakleigh Chargers recruit Bridie Winbanks is the 23rd player for round four.

The Bombers are still looking for their first win after being overrun by a star-studded NT Thunder side in Darwin in round three.

The Saints sit in sixth position after securing their second win of the season last week over the Casey Demons.

The match kicks off on Sunday from 11.30am at Trevor Barker Beach Oval and will be streamed live on the VFL website.
