Essendon can keep its season alive when it hosts West Coast at Marvel Stadium on Saturday in a must-win game for Brad Scott’s side to stay in touch with the top eight.
The Bombers (1-10, 98.4%), who’ve dropped three in a row, will unleashed prized Pick 5 draftee Elijah Tsatas in an exciting moment for fans after a knee injury hampered the start to his career.
Meanwhile the Eagles (2-17, 50.6%), are coming off a win over North Melbourne that snapped a 16-game losing streak for Adam Simpson’s troops as it’ll hope to take some confidence out of the result — and even jump into 17th place with a win.
Retiring club champion Shannon Hurn has been managed and Dom Sheed (foot) will also miss, while Jeremy McGovern returns.
