This is a fan page for all Essendon Bombers fans!
Essendon Football Club, nicknamed The Bombers, is an Australian rules football club that is part of the Australian Football League. Formed in 1871 as a junior club and as a senior club in 1873, it is headquartered at the Essendon Recreation Reserve, commonly known as Windy Hill in the Melbourne suburb of Essendon, but plays its home matches at the Telstra Dome and the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
It is one of the richest, most popular, and most successful clubs in the league, with a new generation of fans springing up due to their recent success and the presence of high profile charismatic players such as captain Matthew Lloyd and former captain James Hird . It is coached by Kevin Sheedy (the longest serving currently active coach in the AFL, having held the position since 1981), a famously crafty coach who, in latter years has developed a persona as football's eccentric philosopher.
The club has worn a black guernsey with red sash as its uniform since 1873 (the longest period that any sporting club in the world has worn the same primary guernsey design).
I have been a fan since 1988(when I was born) and I have loved them ever since, I still love them even when they lose, I keep my head up and I always say "carn the DONS!"
