Essendon Football Club is an
Australian Rules Football club that is part of the
Australian Football League. Formed in 1871, it is headquartered at Windy Hill Oval in the
Melbourne suburb of Essendon, but plays its home matches at the
Melbourne Cricket Ground or
Colonial Stadium[?].
It is one of the richest, most popular, and most successful clubs in the League, with a new generation of fans springing up due to their recent success and the presence of charismatic players such as forwardsMatthew Lloyd[?] and James Hird. It is coached by Kevin Sheedy[?], a famously crafty coach who in latter years has developed a persona as football's eccentric philosopher.
