Essendon assistant package

I’m sure most of you have seen Essendon are going to ask the question on getting an assistant package at the end of the season, I wanted to know do you’s think they deserve it?

I know they haven’t won a final in 20 whatever years but I still don’t think they deserve it, from personal experience being a west coast fan and how bad we had to be just to get 4 extra rookie spots and pick 18 which we traded for Starc, I don’t think they’ve been bad for long enough to warrant them getting it.
Also considering this time 2 years ago they were top 4.

I’ve got a few stats here to show you how bad the eagles were:
took us finishing 17th, 18th, 16th and then 18th with 1 win, set the record for most losses in a season, 171 point loss to Sydney, had a season with 53% which is the lowest since gws joined I believe or a season or 2 after they joined, since ‘22 they’ve had 9 100 point losses while the rest of the league combined have only had 7, as of April 2026 out of our last 100 games we’ve had 44 50+ point losses which is only on par with st Kilda of the 1800s.

Plus I’m sure we remember how long north were on the bottom of the ladder and how bad they were.

Maybe I’m just upset from how long it took us to get our assistant package but if Essendon get it at the end of this season then I’d be a little annoyed.

I’m interested to see what everyone else thinks though.
