@michaeljbeamish Can’t both be true? Back the long terms plan, play kids etc but do it under a better regime that senior players actually buy into and believe in

It appears to me that the ESS supporter are largely in one of 2 camps
1. Back the club in the rebuild, play our youth, endure the pain, and believe in the long term outcome
2. Sack the coach - he has lost the senior players and we are no better than we were 4 years ago.

@FootyonNine Nobody gives a fuck what you think Barrett you dog. You had no trouble sinking the boot into 34 players and their coach relentlessly a decade ago. Get fucked you parasite.

@Kyptastic1 Completely different game now though….but I agree the move to the ruck has been a positive

If you give 100% unconditional effort at every contest I guarantee you won’t get bronxed. If you don’t and you’re a highly paid player built like Tarzan, then you open yourself up to it #AFLDonsLions

@sab_rossitto I’ve legit seen fans defending McKay in recent days. ‘No key forward has kicked a bag on us this season’. ‘It’s the midfields fault’. This vision smacks of someone who has zero personal pride or drive and is happy to collect a pay cheque and call himself an afl footballer
English
worst part is …. Supporters defend this sort of effort from a senior player. we go nowhere until effort like this is held accountable. appoint new staff off field …. big 🤬 deal. This is the shita senior football is dishing up on field. shine be dropped to the VFL 2’s

@SilentGhost263 So….assuming we finish bottom 5 can we manipulate and bid on Walker knowing Blues will match and auto trigger our own end of 1st Round? I mean it triggers so every other bottom 5 side gets one too but if it’s the rule we need to use it to our advantage.
English
this basically guarantees us one (I'm assuming the AFL aren't dumb enough to have the rule double up) extra end of first round pick this year.
potentially big in maneuvering for our ideal target or securing extra picks for our bumper 2027 NGA & F/S Crop.
Callum Twomey@CalTwomey
Clubs now fully expecting this rule to come in for this year, with changes now imminent. It will see clubs who have top-five picks be given an end of first round selection if their top-five pick is shuffled back at least one spot by a matched father-son or Academy bid. @AFLcomau

Nothing against Saad, but I reckon I’ve heard this same line at least 10 times in the past 4 seasons

@andrewsnitch @Sweens35 @essendonfc Or at least explain to the members what they were trying to achieve or do by changing it up…..
English
@Sweens35 @essendonfc Exactly so why change what was working? That's a coaching call that made no difference or made it worse. Poor decision-making yet again.
English
I have a genuine question, is Essendon Football Club waiting for another club to dismiss their coach first so that they are not the initial club to do so?
@essendonfc
English
@sab_rossitto Tries his guts out, but the more we keep rewarding mediocre players with contracts the worse we’ll be. There’s a reason he’s over 25 and not on an AFL list already…..
English
I’m not sure what’s worse … extending Blakistons contract or the celebrations on here about it. Not AFL standard

Don’t ever let anyone tell you Prior and McKay can play footy. Absolute weak as water both of them #AFLDonsPies

Good, Elijah needs help and support not bullshit accusations. This is clearly mental health and the real version of it, not the one when some bloke cheats on his misses and then says he has mental health issues.

@Badgingarra2 Take Murphy Reid, comparable players are like Gryan Miers and Connor MacDonald. Do you seriously think they are getting megastar coverage either?
