ROUND 9: ESSENDON VS F*** CARLTON
Windy Hill, Essendon
Saturday October 28 @ 3.05pm AEDT
PRIDE GAME
This week’s game against Carlton is the Club’s annual Pride game, where we celebrate diversity and inclusion at our club.
The team will wear their Pride guernsey this week, which was designed in collaboration with the Purple Bombers.
The Purple Bombers, established in 2014, is the official diversity and inclusion supporter group of the Essendon Football Club.
The Purple Bombers work hard to create and establish a strong and diverse coterie group and setting the foundations of a strong, safe and accepting supporter group for all.
The Purple Bombers logo has been included on the guernsey to honour the incredible work they do creating a safe space for all Bomber fans at games.
This weekend, the Purple Bombers will have a marquee on the hill behind the Napier Street goals, so please give them a visit and check out their pride guernsey photo station and collect a free of charge pride flag.

The Bombers recorded a four point loss hosting the Eagles in very windy conditions last Sunday.
The Eagles kicked away early with two goals to start the first quarter, with Wood's side kept goalless in the first quarter for only the second time this season (the first time by ladder-leading Adelaide).
In front of their vocal home faithful, Maddy Prespakis (30 disposals, 11 tackles, nine clearances) was once again a force to be reckoned with around stoppages, while Georgia Nanscawen (21 disposals, 17 tackles, six clearances) continued to prove her importance to the Bombers' midfield.
But Essendon's stoppage dominance could not overcome the Eagles, and the Bombers struggled to find an avenue to goal, with star forward Bonnie Toogood restricted in her ability to find space while the wind affected the Bombers' ability to provide her with their usual delivery.
The importance of the captain's influence came to the fore in the fourth term, which saw her register Essendon's first goal, lifting the teams' spirits in the final term as they began to influence the game from the centre.
But it was too little, too late as classy goals from Toogood and Amber Clarke weren't enough to get the home side over the line, and the Bombers ultimately fell short by 4 points.
