Coach Rutten sacked - no, really this time. Could the Dodo face extinction too? 🙏🙏

[qman]

90% will. I would say Bigfooty is disproportionately level-headed when it comes to Hird, which is saying something.

You talk to bomber fans in the wild about Hird, and it's still like talking to a Branch Davidian about David Koresh in the middle of the siege.

So true, even during the drugs scandal when it was so obvious what Hird had done. That was the first time that I said to myself " ****, I'm one of these people". I personally have felt a lot less passionate for the club since.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Jeezus mate just give up on that hair. Its thinner than Rutten's chances of coaching next season

Embrace the baldness you **** stick

I feel so sorry for Essendon fans.

Now say that with a straight face

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Oooooooh boy. Hey Google, what's the shortest ever tenure for an AFL Club President?

Hirdy to be announced as coach on Monday with Kevin Sheedy as mentor and Jobe Watson as assistant.

 

[troybe]

Barnham looked like he had his arm twisted to do that press conference, refused to do any preparation and decided to just wing it while still pissed off that he missed out on Clarkson.

How this guy gas ever gotten a job in his life staggers me, what a twit

 

[mcgarnacle]

Will take a punt, think the next coach of Essendon will be an ex Essendon player

I tend to agree, but when was the last time Essendon were successful with an ex-Essendon player coaching them?

Before Hird and Thompson, it was decades FFS. Barry Davis in the 70s? They were just as shit then as they are now!

Surely this Hird garbage isnt real?

Its really time for them to move on as a club, get some fresh blood in.

Complete rabble

 

[SunshineBoy]

After what he said or didn’t say , he wasn’t prepared, why even hold the press conference, it made him look like an idiot

It shouldn't be real and I'm sure we're all joking, but it does seem like just the sort of stupid arrogant thing that Essendon would actually do.

I would donate to Jobes wage if it got him out of the commentary box

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

My only hope is Barham is one of those he's not a good public speaker but good at his job type

Rutten about to have a media session

 

[mcgarnacle]

Does anyone think the professionalism of Club Management (Board) contributed to Clarko's call this week?

North - Composed, measured, united, well communicated, planned, open

Essendon - Resignations, rumours, leaving current coach out to dry, rushed, poorly communicated, throwing insults at other side, arrogant

It's a pretty clear choice who any common sense thinking person would want to work for.

Maybe. Or perhaps North's dealings with Clarkson were so advanced that Essendon had no chance anyway. The club eating itself inside out no doubt sealed the deal if Clarko had any thoughts.

 

[theyellowsash]

Agreed.

Rutten about to have a media session

He should take a leave of absence effective immediately due to mental health just to screw Essendon.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

As always Essington provides peerless comedic relief to this bin fire.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I'm hearing very strong word that Essendon will announce John Barilaro as their next coach.

 

[Jonno94]

Seems like it

Malthouse to Carlton 2.0

Hardwick to Ess confirmed

 

[theyellowsash]

Any truth to the rumors scumo has already appointed himself coach in the background?

 

[WestCoast05]

Appropriate that the pic is symbolic of him hanging himself (**and likely blaming someone else)

That a Robbo exclusive?

Clarko same age Malthouse was. In 2008.

 

[blackshadow]

It's time.
