ESSENDON has gone tall for its Anzac Day clash against Collingwood, while the Pies have recalled small forward Harvey Harrison for his first game since round 16 last year.

The Bombers have retained their frontline ruck duo of Todd Goldstein and Sam Draper while recalling key forward Peter Wright, with Elijah Tsatas the only omission from last week's win over Adelaide. Dylan Shiel and Matt Guelfi have again missed out.

Harrison, who played four games last year, comes into Collingwood's side in place of Reef McInnes, who has been dropped.

In Thursday's other game, Brent Daniels has been named for Greater Western Sydney against Brisbane after overcoming a knee injury, with 2022 draftee Darcy Jones to make his Giants debut in place of the suspended Toby Greene.

The Lions have welcomed back Darcy Fort for Oscar McInerney (concussion) as well as Conor McKenna, while Jarryd Lyons has been omitted.

The remainder of the round seven teams will be announced on Thursday night.
