Defender Henry Slattery will be a welcome addition to the Essendon line-up in Friday night’s huge clash against Adelaide at AAMI Stadium. Essendon has made only one change ahead of the Round 17 clash, with Slattery returning for his first game since Round 12 following his impressive form in the VFL in recent weeks.

Michael Hibberd is suffering from general soreness and will miss the match against the Crows.
Essendon CEO Ian Robson says the club is ""fiercely protective"" of its brand amid claims a Brisbane team bidding to join the NRL will do so using the name Brisbane Bombers. The team hoping to join the NRL will unveil its plans on Thursday, but Robson said Essendon would seek legal help to avoid a breach of intellectual property.
