Essendon has enjoyed its final main training session before flying off to Adelaide on Friday for Gather Round.

Thursday's main session was an hour and a half of match simulations and set pieces, as the Bombers prepare to take on an in-form and experienced Melbourne on Saturday at Adelaide Oval.

The session was also highlighted with a snap and sign opportunity post training, as several hundred Dons fans gathered at the NEC Hangar. The next snap and sign session will be on Friday, April 21.
