We can take some solace in playing a part in Essendon’s decline

The final margin wasn’t that big but walking out of the ground it felt like a complete smashing

It's enraging

Agree, he wasn’t awful but as Petty has found a semblance of form we need a new wipping boy

We’ve been so bad this year we won’t get many nights in the 2025 draw. Sunday 4:40pm here we come!

My hot take - for however many members a club has there is a core of nuffs who will attend just about every week. They don't change much. It's the other 70% of members who fluctuate. We've never had a big supporter base so our core of nuffs is smaller than the Richmonds etc. What I'm always amazed by - why supporters of other clubs care how many attend our games. Do they have a financial interest in the AFL? Or is it just the old tribal 'we're more dedicated than you'? . The media obsession with attendance also grinds because the AFL have done everything possible to make the game about the TV audience and NOT the people at the ground. The broadcast rights make it very easy for the non-nuffs to catch the game/highlights on TV and not bother going. As usual, the AFL wants it both ways.

Nearly the same frequency as Koz’s specky attempts 😂

Same here, there are times when watching them feels like an obligation death spiral 😂

It rained alllll day, stopped at about 5:30. And it was freezing. I’m using my attendance as part of my insanity defence.

As a member of 37 years & an [censored] who attends every week, gotta say I hate this talk

Why are the [censored] of Twitter obsessed with our crowd numbers. It drives me crazy that it’s a always raised. it’s rained all day & it currently 7 degrees. Only the nuffiest of nuffs (me) are coming to the game

My Dad is obsessed 😂

Walters must love playing us. Perfectly suits his game of not wanting a tough contest & waiting for a loose ball

Just seeing the highlights of Hawthorn Vs Collingwood. Ginnivan is an obnoxious little germ 🤮

Just need Spain to win on Monday morning

11.16 and losing by 2 points. Who do Sydney think they are, that’s Melbourne-like 😂

Not on topic - I'm always amazed that someone I would've described as a dour defender has a giant lair of a son 😄

Yes! The AFL keep messing with the interpretation of the same rules makes it almost impossible for the umpires. I don't envy them. And that the strictness with which the rules are applied flexes as the season progresses makes everyone crazy. Remember when the interpretation of the dissent rule was so strict players could get pinged for making eye contact with an umpire. And now two seasons on there's much more flex. The AFL set precedents for rule interpretation which they don't maintain.

That’s what drove me crazy. It was 50 in the first quarter. It felt like they got a lot of home town frees.

I did the exact same thing. The moment the siren went I was gone.

Clarence is really off his game & it’s really annoying me. He’s always gotten sucked into off the ball stuff way too easily. He’s better than that

Anyone else disappointed the marching band didn’t move? Ripped off 😁

Look at this record - no wonder all the rusted-on supporters are so jaded 🤪

Wu’s not telling us anything we don’t know but seeing all those stats laid out, it’s grim. Does anyone else find themselves avoiding footy media cause they don’t need to hear over & over what’s wrong. I watch us every single week - I KNOW what’s wrong, I don’t need David King & Kane bloody Cornes telling me
