Good luck to Jye, l wish him well. He would be rapt to be the first player for Tassie, securing his place in history. Will probably be their first captain as well.

It would actually be a nice touch for Essendon FC to acknowledge this on their socials and wish him well, but no…

It’s a not a question of being friendlier… it’s a matter of courtesy and respect. I can imagine many of the other clubs socials (GWS in particular) doing it, and do see plenty of them acknowledging achievements of past players. It wouldn’t really take too much, would it?
Is it a primary shortcoming of the club? Hell no… there are about a thousand more pressing examples of Essendon’s uselessness. It’s indicative of Essendon as a whole really - insular and totally behind the 8-ball with the current practices within the industry.

Yeah it’s easy enough to get right. You just have a policy in place to have our current socials team be up to date and put this stuff out there. It even creates content for free which they can use on the website. Seems really easy

Maybe Jye isn’t too happy getting delisted.

Lol. I mean sure, I doubt anyone is happy with being delisted but if he had any semblance of self awareness he couldn’t possibly feel hard done by. In fact he should be thankful he got gifted another 12 months in the system after producing one of the worst seasons on record by an AFL player that saw him as the lowest ranked player in the competition. He’ll do ok at state level though so good luck to him.

Congratulations to Jye Menzie on leaving the Essendon FC shithole and playing for football somewhere else.

You sound like one of those people who can’t wait to see how many birthday likes they get on Facebook.

It was only announced at 5pm last night.

Sounds like he has more friends at the club than Merrett.
