Essendon has made four changes to its line-up ahead of its clash with Brisbane at the MCG on Saturday afternoon.

Two changes were forced after Shaun McKernan and Kobe Mutch suffered hamstring injuries in the Bombers’ impressive defeat of Melbourne last week.

Experienced talls Cale Hooker and Mitch Brown, tough on-baller David Myers and versatile utility Mason Redman have been added to the side.

Young Bombers Aaron Francis and Matt Guelfi have been omitted from the team.

Glad Myers is back in so Parish can go back to his preferred spot on the forward flank.

“Guelfi simply didnt force his way out of the backline and Into the midfield so he is dropped altogether”

What a stupid thing to say coming from a headcoach.

You are the one responsible for where players line up,
How does one force his way out of a back pocket and into the midfield if you dont play him there?

You look at our team sheet and about 4 or 5 blokes are playing out of position because they cant pick a side.

I seriously dont know what we see in Worsforld.

I don’t mind the changes. Franga was pretty banged up and Langford didn’t seem to impressive in the VFL.
