Potential changes loom for Essendon's round eight squad after Daria Bannister was officially ruled out for the year with an ACL injury.

In the extended interchange, Jess Wuetschner, Joanne Doonan, Ash van Loon and Leah Cutting all loom as potential additions.

Renee Tierney will play her second game for the season after impressing in her season debut against the Tigers. 

Star forward Bonnie Toogood needs two goals to hit the 50 goal milestone.
