First it was the 'Pot Stirrers' against Fremantle, now 3 is arming Essendon fans with free 'Hand Clappers' when the Bombers take on arch-enemy Collingwood at the MCG on August 13th.

If the Bombers are to play finals' football, a win in the Round 20 clash with the Magpies is a must and Essendon's major sponsor 3 is getting behind their team and giving away free 'Hand Clappers' at all its Melbourne 3 shops. With every goal, mark and tackle you can make yourself heard with the help of the 'Hand Clappers' from 3.

The 'Hand Clappers' are only available from 3 Shops between July 30 and August 13, so make sure you are a part of the action. Log onto 3's website www.three.com.au to find the 3 shop closest to you.

And when you visit your local 3 Shop, don't forget to enter the draw to win a 'money-can't-buy' Grand Final package – which includes tickets to this year's AFL Grand Final, the Essendon Grand Final Brunch, an Essendon signed football and guernsey.

There are also four runner-up prize packs, which include two premium tickets to the AFL Grand Final and an Essendon signed football. Entries for the Grand Final Promotion close on 30 August 2004.

The 3 Shops are alive with Essendon during August, with players visiting various 3 Shops throughout the month. Jason Johnson and Ted Richards will be at the 3 Shop at Chadstone Shopping Centre (1341 Dandenong Rd, use Bilo entrance, shop on Level 2) this Sunday, August 8th from 1pm - 2pm. Keep checking the Essendon website for details of the player appearances.

The Pot Stirrers stirred the heat against the Dockers and the Hand Clappers will make some noise and help bury the Magpies, so hurry to a 3 Shop to collect your Hand Clappers before Friday 13 August.
