Two players from the Lauderdale Football Club will join in the Bomber's training session.
Meanwhile, two players in Essendon's rehabilitation group, Jay Neagle and Courtney Johns, and assistant coach, Gary O'Donnell, will coach a training session with Lauderdale's U/15, U/17, U/19 and some senior players at 4pm at their home ground (Dona road, Lauderdale).
Lauderdale is one of Essendon's affiliate clubs (for information about the club Phil Giffard, President, Lauderdale Football & Sports Club on 0418 125 255).
Essendon will take part in various training activities over the five-days including hiking, sand dune training and water based exercise.
The program has been put together by the club's High Performance Manager, John Quinn, who has lived and worked in Tasmania.
""Not only will Tasmania provide us with a change of scenery, which will freshen the players, it will also provide us with training options that we simply don't have in Victoria,"" Quinn said.
""Take the sand dune training we will do near Strahan - they are the biggest sand dunes I have seen in my life and will be an excellent training tool. The players will get some really good work into their legs in that session.
