The teams for Sunday have been released, and as we reported yesterday the Lions are welcoming back premiership stars Dayne Zorko and Hugh McCluggage to the team to face Essendon, which should result in a collective shudder for all other teams in the flag window.
The Bombers have made the big call to drop key defender Ben McKay as one of five changes to their team, while the Bulldogs have also made five changes for their clash against the Eagles.
