Western Australia based Essendon fans this weekend have two great chances to get up close with the Bombers when they travel to Perth for round one of the NAB Cup.

We want you to be part of the action while in the West by attending a light training session and post game meet and greet with the players.

Saturday’s light training session at Patterson Stadium will kick off at 3pm and be open for all fans to attend.

On Sunday be sure to get to the game to cheer on the Bombers as they take on West Coast and Fremantle in triangular opening round format.

Then after the game between 7pm and 8.30pm head to the Subiaco Sports Bar – 201 Subiaco Rd (near gate 24) to meet and greet some of the players.

The post game function will involve a question and answer session with some of the players, prize giveaways, small appetizers and a cash bar.
