SUNDAY TEAMS, R19 (L-R): Dylan Shiel, Sam Reid, Shane Edwards. Pictures: AFL Photos

ESSENDON has confirmed Dylan Shiel will play his first game since injuring his knee in round two when he runs out against Greater Western Sydney at Metricon Stadium on Sunday.

Shiel tore his meniscus early in the season but has fought all the way back to the seniors and is one of two inclusions to play the Giants, along with veteran David Zaharakis.

ALL THE TEAMS Check 'em out

The eighth-placed Bombers have omitted Alex Waterman and Matt Guelfi.

GWS has added some firepower for the must-win game, recalling Therabody AFL All-Australian Lachie Whitfield after he overcame concussion, while Shane Mumford and former top-10 draft pick Lachie Ash are also back in.

But former skipper Callan Ward has been managed.

Richmond has named Shane Edwards for its Grand Final rematch with Geelong at the MCG on Sunday.

Edwards has missed the past two matches with an ankle injury, but will replace Dustin Martin, who remains in hospital with a lacerated kidney.

The Cats have included dynamic forward Gary Rohan and reliable defender Lachie Henderson as they look to win and move into the top two.

In the first game on Sunday, Fremantle has recalled forward Matt Taberner for its clash against Sydney at Metricon Stadium, while the Swans have named Sam Reid for his first game since round six.
