This time last year the message was ‘if Clayton doesn’t meet the standards we’ve asked we will consider trading him’ Despite his meh 2024 form Oliver held his spot & there was nothing to suggest he wasn’t doing the required work Should the club reverse on that & look to trade him I’d be extremely disappointed because to me it reads like they’ve moved the goal posts. He’s met the standards we set but that’s still not enough so bye bye. That would suck

Gunston is like a much tougher Fritsch

Maybe the club should’ve just posted transcripts of the exit interviews to reddit - how is all of this stuff leaking!!!!

I hate footy 😂

I agree. I hope season 2025 proves us wrong

I know a hard tag is not fashionable but here’s the thing, it’s usually effective. And tonight when our midfield stocks were down maybe give them a chance by tagging at least on Daicos.

If the ghost of Norm Smith had any real spiritual heft he would’ve aimed a lightning bolt right at Maynard 😂

If we’re 30+ down at half time I say we give Melk permission to hit Maynard the dog

Are Moore & Pendlebury fr with the noise cancelling headphone for the warm up? 🤡

Instead of giving Hunter his 200th to honour him players could just do underground handballs all day 😂

Does Campbell Brown know where the Ch7 bodies are buried? It’s the only possible reason that spud is on our television

Right foot Viney 😍

Viney

Riv’s bad day gets worse 😂

With every word you know Brereton thinks he’d be doing it better than the modern players. And he hates MFC

Love him but the injuries & the years are catching up with him

Jesus Riv

Can someone explain why all the commentators say Tollstrup not Tholstrup. Have I been saying it wrong? 😂

Have always loved him, he’s an absolute mongrel but definitely in the decline. That said he’s been a big contributor to tonight’s result. Can’t remember which exact game but I remember he & Viney playing on each other and thinking it could end up a fight to the death 😂

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.
