Coaches have named a strong team for the opening round of the Peter Jackson VFL season.

The team will feature a host of Essendon listed players who will be looking to put on a good show and earn a spot in the senior side.

Essendon VFL have shown good signs so far this pre-season winning two out of the three practice matches, including a big win over Richmond VFL last week.

They will be hoping for a similar display against Werribee on Saturday afternoon.

Entry for the game is free and all Essendon fans are encouraged to come and watch as football returns to Windy Hill. 

For those who can't attend, VFL Radio will be back and available to stream through the website and the Club App. Check back on Saturday for more information.
