Essendon VFL has named its side to face Sandringham at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday.
Among the inclusions is ruck Vigo Visentini after missing the side's last clash as an AFL emergency, with 200cm draft prospect Cooper Duff-Tytler also set for his Bombers debut at VFL level.
Saturday's game marks the side's final VFL outing of 2025, hoping to finish the season on a strong note following a lengthy losing streak.
First bounce from 2:10pm, broadcast live on 7mate with streaming also available on the AFL app and website.
