Geoff Dixon, Qantas CEO is our No.1 ticket holder i believe. They stripped costello of the role after the election.

Andrew Bogut, Andrew Peacock (former #1 ticket holder during the Glory days in the 80's)
Our #1 ticket holder is the CEO of Qantas, I think he is leaving though.

How do they select these things anyway?
Peter Luczak is somewhat famous, he's a Bomber fan.
Emma Quayle from The Age as well I believe.

I hear that the fine journalist Robert Walls is a big fan.
And that's why they call me loopy.

To clarify - the #1 season ticket holder is the Chairman of Qantas. The current CEO doesn't support an AFL team and the incoming one (Alan Joyce) is a Geelong supporter.
We don't seem to have many famous supporters sadly.

Zoe Daniel, ABC's foreign correspondent (in Bangkok). Her dad Peter played for Essendon in the VFL (1968-74). She goes out of her way in Bangkok to find live broadcasts of Essendon games.
Andrew Greene, ABC's Parliament House reporter on ABC News 24.

You can scratch that dipshit Patrick Smith from the list - he converted to Richmond earlier this year in a fit of sanctimonious self rightousness!!
By a coke bottle apparently.
Correct. I know the bloke who was first on the scene..
I thought Jon Ralph barracks for the Tigers??
Yeah he does.
Julian De Stoop from Fox Sports News is an Essendon supporter.

Everybody seems to know someone on scene, in the hospital etc. Must have been a busy ward.

Can`t stand "celeb" supporters, but I give Bogut his due, he seems to genuinely love Essendon.

Bogut is a ****ing legend. Was shocked how down to earth and normal he is when I met him. Actually saw him eating lunch in the food court and Dandenong plaza lol. :D
Saw Bogut leaving the ground after the final last week.
Poor bugger was trying to avoid being recognised; head down, cap right down.
But obviously people recognised him; one Blues supporter gave him crap about us losing, he laughed it off and kept chatting to him and the Dons supporters with him.
