Essendon's VFL game against Sandringham on Good Friday has unfortunately been relocated to the High Performance Centre at Melbourne Airport.

The club wishes to advise that unfortunately supporters will not be able to enter the grounds due to the construction zone.

In the interest of player welfare and after the transition from cricket to football, it was deemed the centre square surface at Windy Hill would put players at risk.

Moving this practice match will allow the ground more time to recover and be in the best possible condition for our first home game at Windy Hill on the 13th of April against Box Hill Hawks.

The club wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
