Essendon has named its 26-player squad to face Geelong in their VFL practice match at GMHBA Stadium this Friday.

Eight AFL-listed players will make the trip down the highway for the Bombers, including three of last year's draftees in Luamon Lual, Archie Roberts and Vigo Visentini.

The Bombers' VFL clash with the Cats won't be open to the public or streamed, however you can keep updated via the @EssendonVFL account on X/Twitter.

Proceedings will kick off at 2pm AEDT, with the AFL AAMI Community Series matchup between Essendon and Geelong to follow at 5:10pm.
