Essendon has enjoyed a thorough main training session in bright, yet chilly conditions at the NEC Hangar ahead of round six's Anzac Day clash.

With the Bombers scheduled to play their first Sunday game of 2021, the side enjoyed a solid Wednesday session which consisted of full-ground drills and contested work.

The Dons will be hungry to claim a victory against traditional rivals Collingwood, who they have not beaten on Anzac Day since 2017.
