Essendon has named full back Dustin Fletcher for tonight's game against the West Coast Eagles but a 'behind-closed-doors' fitness test at about noon will determine if he plays. As it stands, three changes have been made to the side that lost to Adelaide. Damian Cupido, Jason Winderlich and Paul Thomas were omitted. Justin Murphy, Mark Bolton and Angus Monfries come into the side.
