I'm a melbourne supporter and i have to agree with lloyd here 100% You have to have the ruthlessness to stand up for your team and your teammates, You can give one free kick away but it's about sending a message to the opposition and your supporters. Look at us last week at the Saints, Zak Jones has a run in with one of our players, later in the same quarter Steven May has the chance to charge him while in the contest of the ball. He gives away the free kick sure, but everyone knew he was going too. Took the chance to stand up for a teammate and send a message to the supporters that we're not going to cop it. You don't have to be the best team in the world to do what Lloyd is talking about, it's all about willing to take a stand

[@laurieaugimeri6192]

[@werdna_sir]

Matthew Lloyd, you absolute legend. He seems to be the only person left in football media that isn't completely brainwashed by modern propaganda. They need to toughen up individually and collectively, they need to assert dominance on the field, and their game-day direction needs to be simple and concise.

[@darrenmoore1305]

That next play, Shiel should have absolutely cleaned up Parker. He was within 5 metres of the ball so within shepherding range. Shiel running through him would have been quite legal and would have sent a clear message, "Don't come at me with that crap mate or be prepared for the consequences". Instead he stuck his hand out as if to say, please don't go near the ball, it will make me look bad. Clear to see Barrett has no idea when it comes to football. Essendon right now are an absolute laughing stock. No heart, no passion, no idea!! Carey summed it up when he said during the game that they are guarding grass while their opponents run around collecting possessions at will. No other team in the competition concedes as many coast to coast goals as us. I dread it when we kick points because we all know that the next score will invariably be a goal to the opposition as they almost literally walk the ball down the field without a single Essendon player touching them. Lloyd is right. Effort is the non negotiable. As fans and members, we can deal with our team losing. Look at the applause we gave the team when they lost to North in 2016 with a cobbled together list, because we could see the effort, we just weren't good enough. We look at this team and see the talent and the absolute dearth of anyone giving a f$%k. Members reach into their pockets every year to support the club financially, even when they are struggling to pay their bills, because they love the club. It kills us to see blokes running around earning pay packets we can only dream of, who are clearly only playing for the pay check. If I put in the effort they do in my line of work, I'd be unemployed. Heppell coming out and telling supporters and media to "Jam it" about smiling when his team loses is so far from what he should be doing it's not funny. He clearly hasn't read the room. If he doesn't like the scrutiny, retire. Either that or start earning that lovely fat wage he gets every week.

However, without that ‘killer instinct’ and given Essendon’s lack lustre performance over the years, it is understandable why the fans and media alike view such jovial mannerisms with a sour taste. I still believe in this club and it’s players, but they need to believe in themselves.

Whilst the criticism of Essendon is more than warranted, it is astounding that the footy public don't realise that 5 teams have a longer drought.

[@Cliffy1616]

A longer premiership drought sure but I’m pretty sure Essendon have the longest drought of not winning any finals series games. The few times we’ve made finals in the last nearly 2 decades we were eliminated round 1. Literally every other team barring Gold Coast have won a final in the last 20 years and obviously Gold Coast aren’t even 20 years old. Even a team like St Kilda who now have the longest premiership drought, have at least made it to a grand final in the last 20 years and have had wins in finals series. Unlike Essendon who haven’t won a final since 2004. Which means for 18 years the bombers have been so average they either don’t make finals or if they do they then likely finished 7th or 8th and get knocked out round 1 of finals. So yeah as an Essendon supporter they’ve been fairly disappointing for a long time. Don’t get me wrong they’ve had their moments over the years where they’ve had some great games and have had seasons where they’ve at least been more or less entertaining to watch and start to give a bit of hope for the future but it never seems to go anywhere.
