ESSENDON and Port Adelaide have both recalled big names for their NAB Challenge clash at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night, with Bombers recruit Paul Chapman headlining the potential inclusions.
Chapman, who was named in the Bombers' squad of 29, is in line to play his first game for the Dons after crossing from Geelong during the exchange period.
He was included alongside captain Jobe Watson, star utility Brendon Goddard and veteran defender Dustin Fletcher, who are yet to feature in the NAB Challenge.
Port Adelaide named captain Travis Boak in its squad of 29 after the star midfielder was a late withdrawal for their opening pre-season match against Adelaide.
Lead ruckman Matthew Lobbe was also named for his first NAB Challenge hit-out alongside key youngsters Hamish Harlett and Chad Wingard and key forward Jay Schulz.
The squads will be trimmed to 26 on Tuesday.
