ESSENDON has made one change to its final side to take on Port Adelaide on Sunday at Etihad Stadium, with key defender Michael Hartley replacing the injured Mitch Brown.

Brown is out with a calf issue, with Hartley named as his late replacement for his third AFL game for the season after he was omitted last week.

The Bombers made one other forced change to their team this week with debutant Matt Guelfi coming in to replace the suspended Conor McKenna.
