Have a glimpse at the last two decades. Why change course now?

Is this the top of the pops when it comes to coteries?

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year, can you ease fire everyone involved at the Essendon Football Club at every level, so we can completely rebuild? It’s been 20 years now and I’ve been a good chogby - if you don’t owe me, consider the other million Essendon supporters in Australia. Thanks.

The “Brad Scott AFL plant” conspiracy is making a lot more sense with every passing day.

The fact Caroline hardly ever mentions Essendon anymore just confirms it.

“good news bomber fans, to celebrate the commencement of Howard KC as our newest board member, EFC is offering 15% off the cost of any penalty units incurred during the 2024 financial year. Just type in “15OFFDONS” when paying your fine at fines Victoria to receive your discount!!!”

With his connections, maybe he could get a Governor’s Pardon for the players and force the AFL to restore Jobe’s medal.

Linda Dessau is a great Australian and a wonderful person. I am sure her husband is a nice bloke but he is 72 and we need younger people

Nope

With his NFP experience, maybe he could lead the charge to reform the Constitution of the AFL and reduce its power, or at least, monitor if AFL House is acting in accordance with its obligations under relevant NFP Corporation Law.

I think the club is so self-absorbed that they consider Howard’s appointment to be the good news us plebs are craving.

Well this is a pretty ordinary appointment from what has become, beyond a shadow of any and all doubt, one of if not the most ordinary, boring, conservative, unimpressive, vanilla football clubs in Australia and let’s face it, probably the world.

I’m sure he’s a nice guy though.

But to paraphrase the great Marcellus Wallace, it’s pretty ■■■■■■■ far from okay.

The Essendon football club is good at two things and two things only at this point.

  1. Looking back at the rich history of this club delivered by champions and legends the likes of which we will probably never see again in any of our lifetimes

And

  1. Hammering nail after nail after nail into the proverbial steel coffin inside of which the hopes of generations of Essendon supporters now reside

I don’t believe they have any idea at all of what actually needs to be fixed or how to go about fixing it.

No. I was a member for a couple of years. Not worth it. Pretty useless group.

Why isn’t there a members vote? This club is like under a dictatorship.

It’s Sheedy’s former board spot, so there was no need for an election. The board can (and did) fill it with whomever they wanted.
