THE second round of the NAB Cup competition kicks off with Essendon and the Western Bulldogs on Friday night at the Telstra Dome.
The Bombers have made eight changes to their side that beat Brisbane on the Gold Coast last weekend. Some big names return for the Bombers including backman Dustin Fletcher, young excitment machine Alwyn Davey and gun forward Scott Lucas. The Bulldogs have brought in Andrew McDougall, Shaun Higgins, Jarrad Grant, Will Minson, Malcolm Lynch and Paul O’Shea.
St Kilda have left out ex-Cat Steven King in their game against Geelong, while Richard Hadley will make his debut for Carlton after crossing from the Brisbane Lions.
Massie, Griffen, Otten and Jericho come into the Crows who smashed Collingwood in Dubai two weeks ago, while Fremantle have named ex-Bomber Kepler Bradley for his debut over in the west.
