Essendon Football Club congratulates Karl Whitney and Nicole Bentley on winning prizes in the club’s recent member satisfaction survey competition.

The pair won a team-signed ball and team-signed guernsey as part of a competition to tell us in 25 words or less what you would say to encourage a fellow Essendon supporter who hasn’t been to a home game.

Karl’s winning entry was: ‘You can barrack at home but when the red and blck goes up, and you look around, an you’re amongst it, well that’s pure bliss.’

Nicole’s winning entry was: “It’s exciting, re-ignites your passion and supports the club and gives our children the opportunity to experience and grow in the culture of footy.”

The club thanks all members who took part in the member satisfaction survey competition.
