Bombers ring changes for clash with Eagles

Essendon have regained Jason Winderlich for Sunday's AFL clash against West Coast.

Essendon have made four changes, including regaining Jason Winderlich, in reaction to Sunday's big AFL loss to Collingwood.

The 79-point thumping was the Bombers' biggest so far this season.

They've dropped Leroy Jetta, Cory Dell'Olio and Travis Colyer for Sunday's Etihad Stadium meeting with West Coast, while Courtenay Dempsey is out with a hamstring injury.

Winderlich returns after missing the Bombers' past three games through soreness, with Alwyn Davey, Ben Howlett and Tayte Pears the other inclusions.

The Eagles have been significantly boosted, with Mark LeCras, Chris Masten and Matt Priddis all back from injury and Patrick McGinnity earning a recall.

Adelaide have regained Rory Sloane and Sam Shaw from injury for Sunday's AAMI Stadium meeting with North Melbourne.

The Kangaroos will give an AFL debut to forward Taylor Garner, their top pick in last November's national draft.

Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich will return from suspension against Greater Western Sydney in Perth on Sunday, replacing the injured Clancee Pearce.

The Giants' three changes include a debut for ruckman Tom Downie, a former basketballer.
