Brad Scott predicted some headaches at match committee with so many players worthy of role, and has had to make some tough calls.
Aaron Mullett, Mason Wood and Daniel Currie have all been omitted while Leigh Adams and Lachlan Hansen have been left out due to injury.
Mullett and Wood will no doubt be disappointed after missing out, but will have to keep focused in case they’re activated off the emergency list.
Meanwhile Essendon has made two changes to its side. David Myers and Ariel Steinberg have taken the places of Orazio Fantasia and Patrick Ambrose, who have both been omitted.
