Essendon VFL has made seven changes to its side as they get ready to take on the Swans interstate.
Limited in AFL availability in recent weeks, the Dons will regain the services of Saad El-Hawli, Zak Johnson and Rhys Unwin this week, as Jayden Nguyen is elevated for his first senior game.
The Bombers face Sydney at Tramway Oval from 12:05pm on Saturday afternoon, with streaming available via the AFL website and app.
