Essendon Football Club Hall of Fame?

[stew23]

I've been searching for a while and don't seem to be able to find much information online about Essendon's club Hall of Fame.

All I've come across so far are a few articles from 2014 where Gary O'Donnell, Mark Harvey and Doc Reid, etc. were inducted into it, along with a few older former players.

Elsewhere I read that the club has inducted 25 legends and 15 non-legend members (?), but I'm not clear on that.

I am aware that in 2002 the club announced 25 'Champions of Essendon' (which included the likes of James Hird, Simon Madden, Tim Watson, Terry Daniher, Mark Harvey, Gavin Wanganeen, Mark Thompson, Matthew Lloyd, Michael Long) but I'm fairly certain that is separate to their Hall of Fame.

Can anyone shed any light on this? And why would the list of inductions not be available on their website or Wikipedia? Cheers.

It's terrible and not user friendly at all, but you can navigate through it

We had an actual Hall of Fame at Windy Hill, but I think it got removed to make more room for extensions to the footy dept.

I remember mention of it being reestablished at Tullamarine, perhaps as part of the upgrades.

Thanks for the link. Yeah it won't load up properly for me at all. Have tried in multiple browsers too. Watched the intro from Dustin Fletcher but that's about it.

Clearly a bit too hard for them to simply make the basic information available in text format.

I don't suppose anyone would have a list of the inductees, with the year they were inducted?

@Brunk, yeah that "virtual hall of fame tour" on their website was supposed to be of the actual hall of fame at Windy Hill.

You'll find it stacked away in the plantroom at the Hangar. The new hall of fame as well as the indigenous hall of fame will be part of stage two at the Hangar.
