FREEZE THE ‘G 

The Essendon Football Club had the honour of having all four Daniher brothers donning the sash together during the 1990 season. Since his diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2013 and founding FightMND the following year, Neale, with his brothers by his side, has worked tirelessly to raise money and awareness to tackle 'the Beast’.   

As the Daniher brothers did in 1990, Essendon encourages fans to team up to fight The Beast. Please be in your seats by 6:45pm as we honour Neale by turning off the lights and Freezing the ‘G.  

FUJITSU GENERAL AUSTRALIA 

Essendon Football Club is proud to be celebrating the significant milestone of a decade-long partnership with Fujitsu General Australia. Since joining forces as a co-major partner in 2014, Fujitsu has been a steadfast supporter of the Bombers across AFL, AFLW and VFLW. 

To celebrate the decade-long partnership, Fujitsu has launched a community initiative offering local football clubs the chance to win $10,000, a testament to Fujitsu’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of football talent and strengthening community ties.
