LLOYD JOINS GREATS
Dual Coleman medallist Matthew Lloyd is the latest player to be named a Champion of Essendon. In one of the most high-powered groups of the competition, Lloyd polled more votes than premiership players Roger Merrett, Ted Leehane and Paul Van der Haar. It was appropriate honor given Lloyd broke John Coleman's record for goals in consecutive games last weekend. There are only two weeks of voting remaining in Champions of Essendon and it is up to you to decide between this week’s nominees.

Who out of Bill Busbridge, Fred Baring, Alan Belcher and Paul Salmon, will join Lloyd in the Essendon history books?
Essendon expects both James Hird and Dustin Fletcher to be fit to take on Brisbane this Saturday night. Hird suffered mild concussion and blurred vision following an accidental knock to the side of the face. Fletcher missed for the second week running because of a blood virus. But Essendon football manager Matthew Drain expects both to be fit to play. ""James is feeling fine. We will do some precautionary testing that is always done as a matter of course.""
