Deserves recognition.
Taking part in the guard of honour for Jobe yesterday.
It's not something I remember opposition clubs doing in the past, seems like it was just the player's own teammates and officials. But nowadays once the siren has blown they all seem to show respect to retiring players.
I have seen it when the opposition club has also had a reason to take part for that player (such as Geelong for James Kelly's 300th), but this was simply for an opposition player. I think it's great to see personally and I hope Essendon do the same in future in that situation.
