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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
