Essendon will play four games in Queensland across three weeks, after the AFL tonight revealed the fixture for rounds nine to 12.
The Bombers will have back-to-back Friday night home games against Brisbane (round nine, July 31) and GWS (round 10, August 7) at Metricon Stadium, with both matches shown live on Channel 7.
They'll then round out the block with away games against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium (Wednesday, August 12) and St Kilda at The Gabba (Sunday, August 16) in the same week.
