Bombers make two changes for big game
The Bombers have made just two changes to the team that beat Collingwood last week by 34-points. Andrew Welsh returns to the side after missing one week with a bruised knee and veteran Joe Misiti (knee) also comes into the team after one week on the sidelines.

Andrew Welsh returns to the side after missing one week with a bruised knee and veteran Joe Misiti (knee) also comes into the team after one week on the sidelines. Misiti and Welsh come into the team at Mark Mercuri's and Jason Winderlich's expense. The Bombers travel to Sydney tomorrow afternoon in preparation for the Round 21 match.

Essendon youngster Jobe Watson has hand skills similar to those of former Sydney and Carlton champion Greg Williams. That was the lofty assertion of Bomber coach Kevin Sheedy in the build up to this Saturday night’s crunch game against the Swans. ""He is very smart and has great hands – he’s not dissimilar to Williams,"" Sheedy said.
