Timing on reflection could've been better (mid season?).

I certainly don't begrudge his right to expand his brand and add things to his resume that can be useful post career, and I'm not sure he owes the fans anything other than doing his best to make the club and team a better place, which you can never fault him for doing as a player.

Also I think it's easy to project our feelings for Essendon onto his decision around the club to move to, but as we know for the players they're just another workplace so personally I don't have any angst around that.

I do certainly share the sentiment it's time to move forward and put this behind him.

Maybe that's what this article did.
And what’s wrong with that??

I tried to cool down and read the article again to see if I’d been too harsh, but...no.
