Essendon has made two changes to the side to take on Sydney on Friday night at the SCG.

Shaun McKernan and Kyle Langford come in to the line-up to replace the injured Cale Hooker and midfielder David Myers. 

The Bombers are in eighth spot on the ladder and a win against the Swans could see the side knocking on the door of the top four.
