The VFL Tigers have named their squad to take on Essendon VFL in a bumper clash at Windy Hill on Saturday.
With the eighth-placed Tigers only ahead of the ninth-placed Bombers on percentage, Saturday’s game presents a chance for either side to cement themselves inside the VFL’s tightly-knit top-eight.
The VFL Tigers will be without the services of Nick Vlastuin (soreness) and Steven Morris (hamstring), as well as Tyson Stengle, who will make his AFL debut against Port Adelaide.
The Tigers are coming off two consecutive victories, over Geelong and the Northern Blues, while Essendon were good value in a 17-point victory over Williamstown last week.
The opening bounce at Windy Hill will be at 2:10 on Saturday, with the match also being broadcast live on Channel 7 from 2pm.
