Our President Wins Community Award!
The Club is excited to announce that our dedicated and hard-working President, Kellie Burns, was honoured with the Essendon Football Club’s Community Award at a presentation ceremony during Grand Final week this year.
Kellie stated “I was thrilled and honoured to win Essendon Football Club’s Community Award, which I received at the Club’s Grand Final luncheon.
To be recognised for my work was very special, but for our club to be as successful as it is, is also thanks to the hard work contributed by our committee and volunteers, all year round.”
Congratulations Kellie – we’re all enormously proud of you!

To ensure that all players in all of our teams will be kitted out with jumpers from Round 1 in Season 2025, we need to raise $15,000 by 31 October 2024, in time to place the order for players on all teams to wear this amazing jumper for the 2025 season and beyond.
Jumper Design from artist Emma Bamblett
All of the symbols on the jumper are important elements to the players and how they reflect and respect Aboriginal Culture and their Aboriginal families at the club.
The oval in the middle represents the club, the dots surrounding the oval are the supporters.
The lighter green lines streaming from the oval are the pathways that football provides the players.
To the top right of the jumper is Bunjil the Wedge Tail Eagle, he is soaring and caring for Land, Country and the players. This symbol is paying respects to the Wurundjeri people.
The sun above Bunjil represents hope and aspirations.
On the top left side of the jumper is eucalyptus gum leaves to represents the landscape and area around the oval
The bottom left side of the jumper is a stream of elements:
Clap sticks to represent the club song
Footprint to represent the leadership, volunteers and families
A Football to represent the game
Flowering wattle to represent the football season.
To the middle ride side of the jumper is a connection symbol to highlight the connections to community that football provides
Throughout the artwork is streams and lines to depict journeys to learning, understanding and building knowledge of local Aboriginal people and Cultures.
