Essendon are every chance of winning a final if they play at the Dome.

It's not a clash guernsey. Run away and worry about your own club, that should keep you occupied.

Wooo. Sorry. I mistook this as an open forum. It was released as a clash strip by the afl.

I dont mind the guernsey, it will be used in away games against St Kilda, Port, Richmond and Melbourne and will make its debut against the Saints this week.
It is a heritage guernsey and has the name of every Essendon premiership player written on it.
It was released in honour of John Coleman and features his name and signature on the front.
Have ordered one already

Now there is the most over rated player to ever play the game, didnt even qualify to have his son play at Essendon. The goal kicking should be named after someone from the AFL era, like Buddy, at least his kids have qualified father/son or Fevola or Modra or Lynch or Tredrea or even Minton-Connell all would be more worthy and relevant to the AFL era.

Coleman: 537 goals in 98 games, including 12 in his first game, not too shabby! His average of 5.5 goals a game is second of all time. Only player to kick 100 goals in his first season, doing so in the dying minutes of the grand final. Career cut short after dislocating his knee.

Played u18s footy at the age of 12. While still considered by essendon to be too young to play senior footy despite training with them preseason, he went back to play for Hastings where he kicked 296 goals in 37 games!

Are you for real?
Remarkable figures in an era where 10 goals would win you the game 9 times out of 10 and when fullbacks got away with king hits and rough play. Hardly ever got a free kick for goal where as thesedays the forward gets a free if he gets a fingernail in the back. Average of 5.5 over his career and goal less on only 1 occassion, sadly finished way too young but went on to be a great coach aswell. His input at Essendon and the VFL was enormous

I thought Jonathon Coleman would've been too overweight to be a decent footy player.
