Young forward Jake Rogers will make his return to action in Saturday’s VFL clash against Essendon at the NEC Hangar.

Rogers has been sidelined since the AFL Round 9 match in Darwin with an ankle injury and is one of four changes to the side that defeated Casey at home last weekend.

Streetsmarts SUNS Academy product Grady Turner will make his VFL debut, while fellow Academy youngster Max Hudson and Jamison Shea have also been included. Ned Moyle is one of four outs with the ruckman called up for his third AFL game of the season.

Fresh off a best-on-ground performance, Alex Davies has been named on-ball alongside Malcolm Rosas Jnr and David Swallow. The trio are among 15 AFL-listed players in the side.

Catch all the action live on the VFL and AFL website and apps from 1:05pm Saturday.
