Essendon Bombers

Essendon are one of the foundation clubs of the AFL and have built up a massive following over the years to be one of the biggest supported clubs in the league. They have won 16 premierships, making them the equal most successful club in the league, ever, along with Carlton.

The Bombers are currently going through a lean patch having made the finals only once since 2004, but the return of favourite sons James Hird and Mark Thompson in the coaches box has given them plenty of hope.
