Geelong's Jed Bews is back for Sunday's game against Essendon with Cam Guthrie sidelined by a toe injury.

The Bombers have swung five changes - Alwyn Davey and Will Snelling have been dropped, Dyson Heppell and Jye Menzie are being managed while Jayden Laverde is out with a shoulder injury.

Skipper Zac Merrett returns from suspension while Nick Hind, Massimo Ambrosio, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti return.

Richmond have summoned Nathan Broad, Ivan Soldo, Tyler Sonsie and Jack Ross for their Sunday encounter against Gold Coast.

The Tigers lost Dion Prestia (managed) and Maurice Rioli Jnr (hamstring) while Rhyan Mansell, Judson Clarke and Hugo Ralphsmith were omitted.

The Suns will be without captain Touk Miller (knee) and Levi Casboult (rested) while dropping Mac Andrew and Malcolm Rosas. Alex Sexton, Rory Atkins Alex Davies come into their side.
