Essendon has named it VFL side to take on Richmond in a curtain raiser for the annual Dreamtime clash at the 'G.
Only four changes have been made to last week's side with the return of Matt Guelfi highlighting the ins.
Guelfi will play his first game since injuring his hamstring in the earlier part of the season.
The game will be held at the MCG, with first bounce at 2:35pm.
Unlike most weeks, fans will need a ticket/reserved seat membership to come and watch the VFL side play.
The match will be streamed via the AFL app and AFL.com.au
