I'm not a marketing guru, but wouldn't it make more sense to have a non-exlusive stream so that those who were on the fence about signing up could watch and maybe get interested in the season? Preaching to the converted seems like an odd way to go about it...

Coming from a marketing background, can confirm...

Money good.

I'd have thought anyone fit and available would be likely to get some time

Probably tomorrow

I would like Saad sidelined into a lockdown role.
I would like Essendon to go gangbusters this season while Carlton f*** it up.
That would be enough.

Not yet. Like all parts of this years organisation - it’s gonna be on-the-fly and last minute.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

The EFC website will have some form of stream. Apparently members only, but most likely that'll mean it's just a link sent to members I'd guess. So probably watchable by anyone if you get the link.

katana · Wednesday at 1:29 PM

will there be any attendance allowed?

Nope

Assume there will be a TV replay?

Doubt it. Might be one on the site after a few days though

thaibomber · Wednesday at 5:00 PM

Can anyone who actually gets to watch this post some live updates or comments please? can't watch over here...

Squad for practice match named

See the Bombers' 26-man squad to face the Blues at Ikon Park on Thursday.

www.essendonfc.com.au

That squad reads like we are playing to win.

No Ambrose to level Saad. Dang

I'd imagine all of them get game time. Fairly strong squad

Draper being named is a good sign.

Keen to see Jones for the first time in a game, also interested how Cox & Wright look and how we use them.
