Cupdio along with his teammates strutted their stuff on the catwalk earlier today in fashions from Gazman and Perri Cutten. Cory McGrath, James Davies and Mark Johnson opened the parade in racewear clothing. Jobe Watson, Jason Johnson, Shane Harvey, Andrew Welsh, Adam McPhee and Damian Cupido followed soon after in Gazman casual wear. Damien Peverill and Jordan Bannister then showed off the latest Gazman day wear.
The two Johnson boys, Ben Haynes, and youngsters Darren Walsh, Scott Howard and Davies all stole the show when they hit the catwalk in the Sealy Australia Feature Segment. All six were dressed in nothing more than their Essendon boxershorts - which were proudly supplied by the Bomber Shop – and carried a mattress on their shoulders. At the end of the catwalk a model popped out from under the Essendon doona on the mattress to the surprise of everyone.
To 600-plus guests were also treated to an appearance from Bomber coach Kevin Sheedy and wife Geraldine. Sheedy was dressed in a charcoal suit from Gazman and Geraldine looked stunning in a pink dress and jacket from Perri Cutten.
The grand finale was themed to the musical Chicago and involved all players and the Sheedy's. Entertainer Jane Clifton and parade co-ordinator Melissa Jackson performed several songs from the hit musical including “All that Jazz.” The fashion parade climaxed with all involved on the catwalk singing the Essendon theme song.
