Get excited people, the 2008 season is only 5 short months away.
Membership figures already up to 12,000 odd, consisting mostly of (I assume) Advantage members.A Message To Members.
It goes without saying – 2007 was a big year for the Essendon Football Club.
In what we’ll look back on as a season of ups and downs, there were some bright lights along the way that show that we have the building blocks in place for future success. But let me assure you, as a playing group, we’re all well aware that there is still some hard work to be done before we will be happy with our achievements. That’s why we’re all looking forward to getting back into it and putting in a big pre-season to set us up for 2008.
The Club will have very different feel to it in 2008 and that in itself generates some real excitement. A young playing group under the guidance of Matthew Knights will get their chance to step up and put this Club back where it belongs. It is an enormous challenge but one I look forward to. It is amazing how, when given the opportunity, younger players can stand up and make a real difference. Look at the progress made by players such as Paddy Ryder and Alwyn Davey in 2007 – if we can find three of four more then who knows what might happen in 2008.
Every member of the Essendon family could be in for a very exciting season.
And that’s what this year’s membership is all about – YOU. As part of the Essendon family, you are an important part of what makes this club what it is. I hope you once again will get behind the club as we look forward to an exciting future and proudly tell the football world – Essendon is my club!
