How bad are Essendon fans… the Giants cheer squad is bigger than theirs and the Giants don’t even have fans 😂

    It’s kinda funny watching such a big club with so few fans there. Hopefully they are broken for good.

    Did you see their president sitting in a box? Even he doesn't want to show his face amongst the public

    they're only a 'big' club because the medja says they are

    they've not really been so for 20 years

    Me and Essendon have something in common… we both hate Jake Stringer. End of things in common.

    I disagree, they have been irrelevant for 20 years but there still a big club 82000 plus members. We can only dream of that number.

    memberships are meaningless if they don't turn up to watch the team play, primarily because of the performance of the team

    The Essendon fans are so listless they cbf booing Stringer anymore. 😂

    They should take a leaf out of Adelaide’s book… eight years on and they boo Rick Lever as though it’s his first game against them

    Fair enough. I work with an Essendon member and he is broken, given up doesn’t want to watch them and I am loving it. He bloody wants Hird back and that makes me feel even better.

    Not sure Kingsley would be fully happy, but they won, essendon lost and there fans are losing interest. That has to be there lowest crowd in a long time.

    It's a big big sound

    That's Essendon's lowest home game crowd, excluding the COVID years, since 2016, the year they had players sit out due to WADA bans, and they went 3-19 that year.

    But everyone knows now, particularly over the last few weeks with the focus on the timeslot, that Thursday nights aren't for crowds, and they aren't for the fans of the sides who are playing that game. They are primarily for TV, and casual viewers who can't deal with a night without football.

    Hopefully tonight, next week's awful Hawthorn v Carlton, and Round 23's Essendon v St Kilda, will see not just awful crowds, but awful ratings.

    In the last 1-2 months of the season, there just aren't enough good games to have a Thursday night game, given the restrictions on 5-day breaks and getting sides into the timeslot. Run Thursday nights to halfway through the season, at most. Otherwise the AFL will continue to kill the goose which laid the golden egg, and everyone loses.

    With all due respect, I dont think the AFL could have envisaged their injury list. They have 26 fit players on their list at the moment

    Who gives a FAT RATS CLACKER!! Anything connected with Sheedy or Hird that goes down the dunny is a great day!

    I seem to recall us copping it for getting 23k vs gws in round 1 in the pouring rain on a late Sunday afternoon while the f1 gp was on. Never want to hear another word from anyone in the media about our crowds being bad again unless they apply it equally

    A couple of years ago our injury list was almost as bad (not quite). I remember being told that they had to get some Casey players to make up the numbers at training. There was no sympathy for us in the media.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
