SEARCH FOR PAST PREMIERSHIP PLAYERS
At the final Dick Reynolds Club luncheon in 2002, all living players from the 1942, 1946, 1949 and 1950 premiership sides were inducted into the Premiership Club. The Premiership Club recognises the achievements of VFL and AFL premiership players from all 16 clubs. Essendon had 22 past premiership players attend but the club is still searching for nine players it has been unable to track down. Can you help us?

The club is hopeful of finding the players themselves or close relatives of those that have passed away. The commemorative Premiership Medal will duly be forward to them or their family.

Speed is an important part of Australian Rules Football and Essendon Football Club will soon be home to a state-of-the-art indoor running track that will ensure its players are well prepared in this department. The 35-metre long, imported running track is being laid on the mezzanine level of the refurbished Essendon gymnasium. Work on the track began this week and is expected to be completed by later this month.
