Essendon will show off some of its marquee off-season recruits when it takes on St Kilda in a pre-season practice match.
Bombers recruits Jade Gresham, Ben McKay, Todd Goldstein and Xavier Duursma are all expected to feature in the action at RSEA Park after they moved to Essendon during the trade period.
The Saints will be without back-to-back best and fairest winner Jack Sinclair and new recruit Paddy Dow but are still fielding a relatively strong lineup on their home deck.
