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 rapt with this quarter so far

Me and him both! I was expecting a 100+ point thumping 😤

I know. It's why I wish Kingsley didn't rest hogan

20,347 is the crowd

School holidays (kids don’t have to get up for school tomorrow), weather isn’t an issue coz Marvel, and that’s all they can manage? Pathetic.

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
