James Davies - Essendon's first selection in the 2000 National Draft - will make his senior debut against Port Adelaide at Colonial Stadium this Saturday night. Davies consistency in the VFL side has been rewarded and he joins David Hille who also returns to the senior team. Andrew Welsh and Shane Harvey were both omitted from the side that lost to the Kangaroos last weekend. Davies was recruited to Essendon from Xavier College and is renowned for his speed and skills on both sides of the body.
