34 disposals, nice way to go out.

I think Hird got 35 in a crazy come from behind that fell short, didn't he?

 

[Foxx]

played a pearler in his last game, can't ask for much more.

Fairly safe bet he would have put in a similar display last week, but Scott knows best.

Always gave 100%. Will go down as a club legend. Thanks Doise

 

[naraku]

Thanks Dys!

 

[windyhill]

Farewell to Dyson.
Always respected as a skilful player.
Essendon is amassing several talented assistants, like Leppitsch.
A real coup.

Leppa taking Wrights job yes ?

 

[Highly Evolved]

Great last game, Dys!

 

[brutus76]

Thanks Worzel

Hirdy had 34 in his last game too

Unashamedly my favourite Essendon player of all time. People forget how crucial he was in the mid to late 2010’s in conjunction with Jobe. Without them two in the midfield, we’d have fallen apart.

But more importantly, it’s the off-field stuff. When he and Hooker were the first to recommit to the club during the twelve month ban, that basically solidified it. I’ve been out to the club on numerous occasions, and he just is genuinely the loveliest bloke - has all the time in the world for the supporters. I’m going to really miss him. What a performance in his final game too, really wound back the clock.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Sad to see him go, but it was time. Onya knackers.

 

[justlookingaround]

It is a bummer that his career spanned the worst period in the club's history.
He has often been unfairly maligned as a causation of that.
I don't think he could've given anything more.

 

[bommer16]

Gonna miss you Dys. All the best on the next step of your journey mate.
You don’t need to win a final - you are a winner just by being you. Loyal to the end.

Was very dependable down back. He was one of those players that when he had the ball, you knew it was in safe hands.
Unlike the jitters I get from the likes of Laverde, Mckay, Redman, McGrath and Kelly.

I hope another club comes knocking with a 1-2 year offer.

The worst period in the club's history so far...

Miles from home too

Country miles.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Finally it's over.

 

[Oraaaaazio]

Finally it's over.

You must be thrilled, I'm sure everything will be up for us from here because Dyson is finished.

 

[Agronomus]

I think Hird got 35 in a crazy come from behind that fell short, didn't he?

Wasn't Hirds last game interstate as well?

The worst period in any AFL clubs history

 

[Highly Evolved]

Player of the Round.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Great career, great player.

All the best Dys.

 

[JT_the_Man]

What a legend. Took this club through a real rough period. Got to remember he was robbed of a year of his prime. Super thankful for everything.
