Read below some of the messages of support we have received since the announcement:

“Over a lot of years EFC has been known for it’s ups and downs........yet it’s high level of success compared to other clubs is quite extraordinary. As I get older, as each new season approaches my interest grows more and more around the improvement and development of our young players. This 2013 season is no different..........more than ever I wish each and every one of the players that have the privilege to don the ‘Red Sash’ every success. I have great confidence in the Board, Management, all the Coaching Staff and Players to seek out further success for this great Football Club. Proud to be a member of a Club that I believe is heading in the right direction.
Terry McCleary.”

“I am a member and have been for the past 14 years. I stand with pride when I wear my black and red and no one will ever bring down my club in my eyes. Stand tall James Hird, you have so much support out there.  Whatever it takes, oh yeah!
Glenda Aitken”

“To everyone at the Essendon Football. I wish to offer my support to all the coaches, staff, supporters and players. The professionalism of the club through these hard times and been second to none and I believe the club will be stronger long term. I would like to wish the football club all the best for 2013 and I assure you I will always be a member of this amazing football club. From another fellow Dempsey.
Anthony Dempsey”
