​It was a sea of red and black on Saturday, February 7, as our Windy Hill team joined the 2026 Essendon FC Family Day at the NEC Hangar!

The day was a massive success, marking the perfect conclusion to the club's Summer Series. We had a fantastic time at our Windy Hill pop up stall, connecting with fans and families as they enjoyed a morning packed with action.

Highlights from the day included:

• AFL & AFLW Stars: Fans lined up for signing sessions with the full 2026 squads.
• Family Fun: From mini golf and badge making to inflatable skills targets and face painting, there was never a dull moment.
• Community Spirit: Between the food trucks and wheelchair football skill testing, the atmosphere was buzzing with Bombers pride.

We loved meeting so many current (and future!) Windy Hill members away from the club. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall to say hello and chat about their fitness goals for the year ahead!
