Essendon’s ever-growing relationship with the Tiwi Islands community has continued to develop with the running of the Girls Academy Camp.

VFLW senior coach Brendon Major and key defender Bec Neaves – who recently finished third in the side’s inaugural Best and Fairest count – travelled north to meet and train with members of the club’s Next Generation Academy, some of the country’s most exciting prospects.
