VFL Third Practice Match - Tiggers at Punt Rd Oval - Friday April 1 (no, really) @ 4.30 pm

Essendon VFL team will be a more settled unit this week with players getting more game time, based on a reduced bench this week.

Based on 2015 the tiggers are not nearly as good as Footscray so we might be more competitive this week.

Watch out for Aaron Francis, who will become the mainstay of the defence bigmen along with Grima, watch for Longy who is staking a claim for elevation with some justification, also Hepp-A, who is playing well continuing his 2015 form.

Midfield sees the introduction of Chris Peart who is promising, and we are of course looking forward to Hams in his push for a senior recall.
Theres lots to see and quite a few players of the Essendon future on the field.

The Team:

  1. Aaron Francis

  2. Shaun Edwards

  3. Craig Bird

  4. Mason Redman

  5. Jayden Laverde

  6. Jake Long

  7. Yestin Eades

What number is DJR wearing?

Will DJR be there live providing chip updates?

I’ve only just realised why this game is scheduled as it is. Shows you how much I care about AFL games not featuring us.

Shame Vickery isn’t playing: the locals constantly bashing him is hilarious.

On your bike djr only 20 minutes left. to set up the djr-cast

Only got a glimpse of the team going off after warmup, but McKernan was in it. Dunno about the other emergencies, Simpkin and Birdy Num Num.
