Would like to follow on from Andys sentiments and as a board member of the club and a sincere friend would like to express my sadness on the passing of the clubs president JT. A premiership player, premiership coach and also a premiership president what a list of achievements. A humble man who had a great passion and enthusiasm for the football club. A role model and mentor to so many of the young men who wear the emus jumper each and every week. A terrific family man who made each and everyone one stand taller with his presence and his words of wisdom at the footy. He has left a lasting legacy for the football club, the community and also for myself. One that I am sure his family will carry on for many generations to come, not only with your sons and daughters who with play with the Emus and the soon to be women's Emus but also your many grand children and family who you were so proud of and all who adored you just as much. A terrible loss to so many. My love and thoughts with all of the family. You will be deeply missed.

There was this Bidyadanga Emu's Legend called "DOZA" who had the knowledge of football, the potential of knowing that he could bring on a Premiership for the Bidyadanga Emus..!! :-P

He showed great leadership and pride on and off the field...!! He hung his boots up. In 2004 Wayne Edger brought on another Premiership.

He then encouraged and supported the younger side of the Emus. His only son Lester.Banks joined the Emus and finally won his 1st Premiership in the Year 2016 in the big clash against the Looma Eagles. !
