Essendon’s comeback story is gaining further momentum with the Club reaching the 5,000-member mark in October for the first time.
Renewals and new members are ahead of schedule and following the release of the 2017 fixture, there is even more reason for Bombers fans to sign up.
The Club will host three big blockbuster games in the first eight rounds of the season, including the Saturday night season opener against Hawthorn.
The Bombers will play 12 of their games on Saturday (eight at night) in a return to traditional timeslots in 2017.
There will be six Sunday games but only one (against the Dockers in Perth) in the twilight timeslot.
