Essendon selectors have included veteran Bomber star Michael Long in the side to play Port Adelaide at Colonial Stadium tomorrow night. Youngster Mark Bolton was the unlucky player forced to make way for Long. Not surprisingly given the Bombers performance last weekend, the inclusion of the Long was the only change made for this weekend. Long has been named on the wing which has seen Mark McVeigh, a start in the early part of the Kangaroos game, relegated to the bench.
In other selection news, young ruckman David Hille has proven his fitness and been named in the VFL side that will play Frankston at Windy Hill on Saturday afternoon.
The VFL side for this weekend's match is:
Backs: Hall, Hunt, Bolton
Half Backs: D. Johnson, Richards, Forster-Knight
Centres: Bannister, McAlister, Davies
Half forwards: Lalich, Robran, McGrath
Forwards: Denham, Kenny, Mahoney
