Since arriving at Windy Hill, our newest draftees have leapt aboard the Bomber bandwagon, embracing all things Essendon. The past three weeks of the NAB Cup have seen many of them don the mighty Red and Black with pride while setting the field alight with impressive individual performances.

Last night Essendon’s latest recruits, the first year members, had the opportunity to build their own first impressions of the Club’s inner sanctum and were able to share the experience with the Bomber draftees.

After being officially welcomed to Essendon by Captain Matthew Lloyd, the first year members were treated to a behind the scenes tour of the Windy Hill facilities.

They also had the opportunity to hear from key Essendon personnel including Club CEO and Managing Director Peter Jackson, Club President Ray Horsburgh, Essendon Community Affairs Manager Russell James and Essendon Assistant coach and club legend Gary O’Donnell.

Kevin Sheedy was the highlight of everyone’s evening, as he asked the Bomber boys the hard-hitting questions that all fans wanted to hear.
