In a special 'once only' deal, the next team to sign up for the inaugural Essendon Football Club (EFC) Corporate Cup will receive a unique bonus with 2000 premiership hero, Paul Barnard, agreeing to play and/or coach the team.
 
Barnard is best known for booting four goals on that magic day eight seasons ago and will be a great team-mate or motivator for one lucky side.
 
When else do you get to play footy with a Bomber premiership star and ask all those questions you have wanted to get off your chest?
 
The team will also have the chance to make the grand final and play on the Dome before the Bombers take on the Bulldogs on Friday 11 April (Round 4).
 
The competitive juices will be flowing when you test your company's skills against other corporates for the chance to play at the Dome.
 
Windy Hill will host the inaugural EFC Corporate Cup on Sunday 6 April 2008 with a carnival like atmosphere and marquee hospitality providing fun for all the family.
 
The Cup decider will be played on the hallowed turf of the Dome the following Friday.
 
Ten players (including a minimum two females) will play eight minute halves of modified rule (including wearing sneakers only).
 
The aim of the Cup is to raise money for charity, bring football back to Windy Hill and provide a unique form of entertainment to corporations and families.
