thoughts?Essendon honours birthday boy Fletcher renaming Lockett end at Etihad
ESSENDON will give veteran Dustin Fletcher a 36th birthday present by permanently naming an end of Etihad Stadium in his honour.
Starting today against the West Coast Eagles, the Lockett End will revert to the Fletcher End for Bomber games.
Fletcher, who celebrated his birthday yesterday, has played 333 games in 19 seasons since being drafted in 1992 as a father/son selection.
"He's an amazing player with a natural athletic ability who I would rate as one of the greatest players in the game," declared former great and now coach James Hird.
Fletcher beat greats Dick Reynolds, Bill Hutchison and Terry Daniher in a poll of more than 10,000 Essendon website votes to be opposite the Lloyd End.
Lockett end renamed by Essendon?

Maybe we should have the Rooey end instead of that Collingwood bloke who kicked a few goals in the 1800's!

We are allowed signs just as essendon are. Maybe we should rename it but I dont see the point, we already have the Lockett end but I am sure if wwe want to call the other end the Frawley end we could. Maybe we could call the boundary line the Jack Daniels line.saintspremiers wrote:MW is unofficial.plugger66 wrote:Its there home ground when they play there so they can do what they like as we can.

The Jason Gram line for the boundary is far more this decade.

Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell

Bulldogs do a similar thing with their giant posters.
Perhaps we should rename the ends for our games after club greats.
Baldock?
Barker?
Harvey?
Bromberg?

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Unbearable arrogance from the Bombers.
It's not just this 'special' match...don't they re-name the Lockett end the Lloyd end for their home games?
This is absolute bullsh*t and shows a lack of respect for (statistically) the greatest full-forward who's ever played the game.
I think he kicked about 400 more goals than Lloyd!
They should never be allowed to re-name the Lockett end...who allows this?

In honour of those who went before, in the dark and desperate years.
