Boom Western Australian youngster Leroy Jetta has joined Alwyn Davey in the Essendon line up to play Adelaide at AAMI Stadium this Sunday. Like Davey, Jetta is blessed with explosive speed and the Essendon match committee hope he can use it to good effect both defensively and on the scoreboard.
 
Mal Michael is the other new name in the Essendon team while Matthew Lloyd makes his long-awaited return having not played since Round 3 last season. The Bombers have named seven on the bench with the squad to be trimmed to 22 tomorrow afternoon.
 
The team is:
 
Backs: Slattery  Fletcher  Michael
Half Backs: M. Johnson  Lucas  McPhee
Centres: Winderlich  Peverill  McVeigh
Half Forwards: Hird  Ryder  Welsh
Forwards: Davey Lloyd  Jetta
Rucks: Hille  Lovett  Stanton
Bench: Bradley  Bolton  Dyson  Johns Lovett-Murray  Monfries  Watson
