Our inaugural Baby Bombers event was a Game Day Experience at the round 7 game between Essendon and the Gold Coast at Etihad Stadium. The boys were given the opportunity to wear their James Hird Academy attire and form a guard of honour as the team ran through the banner, and then after the game, head down to the rooms where they were able to obtain a few autographs from their heroes. No doubt a highlight for all the boys!

The day also provided an opportunity for many ex-players and parents to get together, and it was great to see so many of them at the game and in the changerooms afterwards.

Attendees: Kurtis Barnard, Luke Barnard, Noah Caracella, Darcy Denham, Will Hamilton, Joshua Misiti, Mara Lovett-Murray, Jaxon Neagle, Aidan Ramanauskas, Lucas Ramanauskas.
