There are so many threads on here about Essendon Haters TM in the media that I decided it was finally time for us to form the definitive list. To be added to the list, the person must be a well-known Essendon Hater TM - we all know who they are.

Please update this thread with your own additions and I will continue to update the list..

Drew Morphett- haven't heard him in a while, but when he used to commentate on Channel 7, he made his loathing for the red and black pretty damn obvious.

Who was the moron that gave Dane Swan 3 anzac medal votes and Paddy none? Surely that bloke needs to go down just for that act of stupidity.

Gerard Whateley. Good pick up.

Keep them coming people. We all bitch on about how everyone in the media hates us - so there should be lots and lots more that I haven't thought of...

Robert Walls

I wasn't going to include Patrick, doesn't he barrack for us? Surely he is more of an Sheedy hater than an Essendon hater...

Christopher Bantick is a good pick up.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about Patrick Smith. But Patrick Smith isn't sure what he is either. He hated Sheedy, then lambasted the club for not renewing his contract. In fact, he became obsessed with the events of Sheedy's departure that he re-hashed about 25 articles on the same topic with the same venomous criticisms. He then tried to discredit Knights as an appointee with a series of degrading comments....and even ran an article this year suggesting that some senior players are unhappy with Knights. He's been a shitstirrer of the highest order, and I wouldn't be surprised if he were behind the saveessendon.com mob. Does he really barrack for us? He's got a funny way of showing it

Eddie McGuire, although i'm not sure whether he counts. His hates all the other 15 clubs and has an infantile fetish with Collingwood that fogs his mind.

Does Derek Kickett warrant a mention, or is that just a Sheedy thing?

How about David Schwarze?He still Hurts from the BIG ONE in 2000 and STILL BANGS ON about Alternate Guernseys.Anyone who CRAPS ON about that in the Media is an ENEMY of the DAL,...BOMBERS and MUST BE EXTERMINATED!

Guy sitting next to me on Saturday night. An Essendon Member who did nothing but bag the club and players the whole night and I quote!

"I pay good money to be a member and this is the rubbish you dish up"

End Quote.

Even when we started smashing them, he wouldn't let up....Finally I and the people around me told him to get his money back and stay at home FFS!!!!!

He left as soon as the siren sounded. I wish I knew his name.

Schwartz would probably be one of the biggest Essendon lovers in the media I reckon. He talks us up given any opportunity.

Cometti - despite the fact his son barracks for the Bombers - he always demonstrates his insidious support for anyone playing against us, as well as undermining any victory we have by saying how "off their game" our opponents were. He even had the gall to write off our famous comeback against North in 2001 as "not really that special". f*** head.

From South Australia

Graham Cornes ( Still bitter after what we did to him and the Crows in 93 )
Steven Rowe ( Former crow and now biased commentator ........)
Leith Forest ( Carlscum follower who continues to whing about Essendon's salery cap issues of the past )
Chris Dittmar( Port Adelaide follower who just hates Essendon )

I am surprised that noone has mentioned adolf anderson or the MRP...

Blimey. Maybe we should name the Essendon Lovers instead. This list is getting horribly long...

Don't forget good ol' Alistair Lynch up in Brissy. Some very even commentary whenever we play up there...

I'm guessing there would be roughly 15/16 people who follow football who dislike us to some degree.....

In days gone by Gerard Healy couldn't contain his dislike for Essendon in his commentary. The main reason being was the tagging jobs we used to employ on his buddy Greg Williams. He would ALWAYS highlight "unfair" (his words) tactics by firstly Shane Heard and then later by Sean Denham. And you could always hear the disappointment in his voice whenever we received a free kick or looked like taking control of a match. Suck eggs, prick.
