Essendon’s partnership with the Australian Paralympic Committee continues to strengthen ahead of this week’s upcoming AFL National Draft.

Key figures from Essendon will visit the APC headquarters in Sydney before the Draft on Thursday.

Essendon has a long standing commitment to the community and the club’s emerging Melbourne Airport training and administration facility will house the Australian Paralympic Committee Victorian headquarters and training base – providing improved pathways for Paralympic athletes and opportunities for people with disabilities.

When we congratulate Hird, Watson, Thompson and co when we win next years flag, can we spare a thought for Ian Robson, David Evans and the board and administrators who have done an amazing job at seeking coporate support and partnerships and making our grand visions happen. The 2012 flag would not be ours without them.

Well said Wesley. These guys together have turned this club around very quickly with their decision making and leadership.

What a splendid association: my congratulations to EFC's executive. As a person with permanent disabilities (poliomyelitis, I remember still being taken by a bunch of Essendon players to the 1949 GF as a highlight of my life. I have the greatest admiration for both my footy club (go 'dons) and our araolympians.
