The West Coast Eagles will play under lights when they take on the Bombers on Thursday night, but Josh Kennedy hopes history doesn’t repeat from the last time they met.

Essendon defeated the Eagles in Round 14 last year while the Eagles posted 16 behinds with their six goals.

“They’re a very quick side, they took us on last time and it really hurt us so we’ve got to be on our times,” Josh Kennedy told 6PR Breakfast.

Steve and Baz also found out Kennedy was part of an AFL dream team when he was just a kid, included in the team; Geelong’s Harry Taylor, Port Adelaide’s Paddy Ryder and West Coast’s Josh Kennedy.
“Paddy was a bit younger than us. He was playing above grade because he was so tall and so good.”
