The likely return of Alwyn Davey and Mark McVeigh and the possible return of captain Matthew Lloyd will provide the Bombers with a much need spark according to veteran fullback Dustin Fletcher.
""We might get a few blokes back from injury and we need to come out fighting and play well at the MCG which we have done this year,"" he said.
""Alwyn Davey is a good chance, Mark McVeigh will have a run today and Lloydy might be up and about and having a couple of those boys back will help but we all have to lift and improve from what happened on the weekend.""

Fletcher described yesterday's loss to West Coast at Subiaco as ""pretty ordinary"" and admitted the coaching staff had been very disappointed with the effort.
He said Saturday's clash with Brisbane at the MCG is now a massive game for the club.
""We will go through what happened and go forward from there,"" he said.
""At times during games it has looked like we could get the ball, go forward and go away with the game but you can't leave it so late because games are so close these days that you've got to try and put four quarters together. We haven't played four quarters in a while.
""We have to concentrate on getting back to playing the footy we know, the exciting style of footy and hitting targets.""
The 34-year-old said the team is looking forward to getting back to Perth in a few weeks time to play Fremantle and prove they can play well there.
The Bombers testing clash with Brisbane at the MCG this Saturday night heads the club's involvement in this week's AFL News. Essendon needs a win in the 7:10pm game to keep its finals hopes alive.
