Essendon VFL will be looking for a strong performance in the final practice match before the start of the regular season.

The boys will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Footscray last weekend. 

Fans will be able to see a number of fresh VFL faces in action with 2016 recruits James El Moussali, Chris Peart and Matt Dornauf all set to play in their first full game for the Club.

Essendon listed players Shaun McKernan, Craig Bird and Jonathan Simpkin will join Essendon VFL after being omitted from the senior side.
