Essendon VFL will take to the MCG on Sunday in a curtain raiser to the Country Game, with Bomber fans encouraged to get to the ground early.
The top-of-the-table VFL Bombers will face Geelong from 11:50am, before the two clubs' AFL sides go head-to-head at 3:20pm.
Despite Sunday's VFL game being listed as a home fixture, only Essendon members with away access will be granted entry.
Those who hold a ticket for the Country Game can also scan in for the curtain raiser.
Gates open at 11am, with the Powercor Country Festival Farmers' market also commencing at the same time in the Yarra Park precinct.
Coming off a 37-point win over Collingwood in an unbeaten start to 2019, Essendon VFL will feature 15 senior-listed Bombers against the Cats, including promising youngsters Sam Draper, Josh Begley, Irving Mosquito and Brayden Ham.
Be sure to get to the 'G early to catch all the action, but if you can't make it, the curtain raiser will also be broadcast live on Channel 7 and the PLUS7 Live app.
