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.
