Young ruck Ned Moyle will return to the SUNS line up for Saturday’s game against Essendon at Marvel Stadium.

Moyle last played in the Round 13 defeat against Fremantle and has been named for his 13th career game this Saturday, coming into the side for Jarrod Witts who has been managed.

It’s the only change to Damien Hardwick’s side from the one that defeated Melbourne last week. The sub will be named at 11:35am Saturday, an hour before opening bounce.

Mid-season rookie draftee Oscar Adams has been named as an emergency for the first time alongside Alex Davies and Ben Jepson.

Saturday’s match will be Matt Rowell’s 100th AFL game, becoming the 27th player to reach the milestone for the club.
