Sam Durham will not be available for Essendon’s final home game of 2026.

The midfielder missed last week due to general soreness and will not be ready in time for Sunday’s clash with Port Adelaide.

Zach Merrett copped a heavy knock to his eye on the weekend but played out the game and will be available to face the Power. Darcy Parish however, has run out of time in his efforts to return from a calf injury.

Essendon suit up for the last time this season from 12:20pm AEST at Marvel Stadium on Sunday.
