Essendon has made five changes for Saturday afternoon’s match against St. Kilda at Etihad Stadium.

Dustin Fletcher (groin), Elliott Kavanagh (omitted), Travis Colyer (omitted), Patrick Ryder (suspension) and Nick Kommer (suspension) are all out of the team that defeated Fremantle by 4 points last Friday night.

Jason Winderlich, David Hille, Tayte Pears, Mark Baguley and Jackson Merrett have all been included in the Round 4 team.

Winderlich, Hille and Pears return for their first game of 2013 season while Merrett and Baguley return after playing earlier in the season.

Coach James Hird said he was excited to see what Winderlich could add to the team.

“It is great to see Jason coming back into the side after a bad run with injury over the last two seasons,” Hird told BomberTV.

“He will add terrific run through our half forward line.”
