From the depths of the off-season..
Basically, if you were pitching/selling your club to a new AFL fan, what would you promote and say about your club so that new fan is persuaded to choose them.
Take the Bombers.
- A founding member of the VFL
- historically the equal most successful team in the competition
- Inaugural premiers
- four peated in the VFA (has to count for something)
- we wear red and black, surely one of the best colours in the league. You can actually look good going to footy in essendon gear compared to certain other teams...
- the original sash team (sorry tiges)
- provider of absolute legends of the game such as Coleman, Reynolds and Hird
- blockbusters galore - ANZAC day, Dreamtime, ‘country’ game and now Good Friday
- a history of winning against the odds: St Kilda 2009, Geelong 2011, Fremantle 2013...
- 2000❤
- classic rivalries with carlton, hawthorn, north and west coast
- have NEVER sold a game interstate
- have shown to galvanise in the face of adversity, even though adversity has been brought on ourselves
- an exciting list and perhaps soon a chance for that elusive number 17
See, how could you not want to support the mighty Dons
