Essendon will unveil its newest mid-season pick Jaxon Artemis in the VFL against the Demons at Casey Fields this Sunday.
The former Tassie Devil joins fellow AFL-listed Dons in Jade Gresham, Max Kondogiannis and Saad El-Hawli among the Club’s six inclusions, which also features Coburg recruit Deacon Kalpakis and midfielder Dayten Eurata.
Jayden Nguyen will miss from a one-week suspension following a rough conduct charge from last week’s game.
Sunday’s clash gets underway from Casey at 2:05pm AEST, with streaming available on the AFL app and website.
