Essendon supporters were out in force today, braving rainy conditions to celebrate the club’s annual Family Day - presented by Samsung - at Windy Hill.

The rain held off long enough to allow for over 5000 fans to see the full team presented with their 2010 playing guernseys by coach Matthew Knights, with captain Jobe Watson saying he was thrilled with such a strong showing.

“It was fantastic to see so many people turn out today and support the guys – particularly given the weather,” Watson said.

“I know Essendon are really focused on delivering a level of engagement that excites our fans, not just on match-days but all year round and days such as today really highlight that.

“Today is only the start of what looms as an exciting year for the Bombers.
""We are looking forward to a blockbuster fixture which will hopefully allow us to showcase our attacking brand of football against key rivals and we hope our supporters play a large part in that journey.”
