Essendon stars Jobe Watson and Michael Hbberd are among four inclusions in Satrurday’s team to take on West Coast at Etihad Stadium.

Patrick Ambrose and debutant Ariel Steinberg also come into the side that lost to Richmond last weekend.

Jake Carlisle will miss the match due to back spasms with Orazio Fantasia, Cory Dell’Olio and Elliott Kavanagh all omitted.

The inclusion of Watson and Hibberd is set to provide a boost for the Bombers after Carlisle suffered back spasms at training during the week.
