Today I attended the Grand Final parade and AFL Footy festival. I got to meet my favorite Essendon player Sam Draper, meeting him made my day and year. We spent several minutes chatting and speaks highly of Brad Scott. You're a legend Drapes! Go Bombers! 😊

@SENSportsday Did you cry when Jordan Lewis, Sam Mitchell, Luke Hodge and Lance Franklin joined rival clubs? Why are you crying about Ben wanting to join Essendon? C'mon Clarko, you're getting hand outs from the AFL over the next few Drafts. Keep crying mate. 😂🤣

#OnThisDay in Essendon history: in 1992, a kid by the name of J. Hird was a late inclusion against St Kilda. Fair to say, he went on to become one of the greatest player in Club history. (and an even better person too) #DonTheSash

@superfooty @heraldsunmick The AFL, the wider AFL community, ASADA and WADA all owe James Hird and Essendon34 a huge apology for abusing them since 2013. Jobe deserves his Brownlow as well.

On this day in 2010, James Hird Essendon great was appointed coach. He went on to coach the club to Finals in 2011 and 2013, coached Jobe to Brownlow success in 2012 and was unfairly suspended in 2014 and returned to coach the club to a famous win over the Hawks in 2015.
