Tadhg Kennelly has recovered from a virus and Nick Davis from hamstring tightness to be selected for the game against Essendon on Saturday night.

Kennelly spent two nights in hospital last week and missed the win over the Western Bulldogs, as did Davis who pulled up sore are the final training session.

Jared Crouch will have to wait at least another week to play his 200th AFL game after sustaining a hamstring injury at Manuka Oval.

Heath Grundy, who came in for Davis last weekend, drops out of the 22.

Meanwhile, Jason Laycock has been brought in to support ruckman David Hille against the Swans combination of Peter Everitt and Darren Jolly.

Mark Bolton and Andrew Welsh have also been added to the side which narrowly defeated Richmond in Dreamtime at the G last weekend.
