In the last opportunity to put finishing touches on Essendon’s season preparation, the match will provide some important match conditioning for players who have had interrupted pre-seasons.
The game will also provide the chance for an up-and-coming list to put forward their claims to the match committee for a Round 1 berth against the reigning premiers in eight days time.
The Bombers will almost be at full strength, with only a few players to miss the hit out. Pre-season form will go out the window in the mate versus mate battle, so make sure you are at Windy Hill to watch the Essendon squad go through its paces.
