Essendon's VFL game against Bendigo has been relocated to the High Performance Centre at Melbourne Airport.

The club wishes to advise that unfortunately supporters will not be able to enter the grounds due to the construction zone.

In the interest of player welfare and after the transition from cricket to football, it was deemed the centre square surface at Windy Hill was not satisfactory for today's match.

The club wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
