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

That Barham presser was horrific. It's honestly more productive flushing money down the toilet than paying a cent to EFC. You're the president on $400k+(?) and you don't know what's wrong with the club and why you're not as good as Geelong and Collingwood so you pay for a review. WTF is he there for if he doesn't know what to do?!? I honestly need to fall up in life more to get these plush gigs FFS.

Presidents don’t get paid. It’s all ego.

Clarkson troll of Essendon was pure art.

it's simple sack x sack rutten sack dodo

simples

then gut the board and start again

Watching the presser now, what an absute s**t show.

Surely you do a moch run with media coach first.

That would have involved basic competence and organisation. What gave you the impression that the board was capable of organising anything?

 

[My_Username]

Good point, their reviews don’t hold any water

If the reviewer wants to be hired again (by anyone), he'll report findings that reflect what the board wants them to show.

Same as every inquiry/review/etc. that happens. They're all for show to support what is already decided.

What's the odds that the reason Kevin Sheedy made those comments about Clarkson going to Tassie because he had been advised Clarko had knocked them back?
This club has so many scumbags involved in the running of it it's not funny. Clarko was very wise to choose North

 

[Jonno94]

Clarko same age Malthouse was. In 2008.

Hawthorn were silly to let him go then, oh wait they improved this year under Mitchell and backed in a much younger squad the entire season.

Tells you a lot about how Essendon's board is perceived in the industry now.

 

[Vindicater]

The drugs saga completely destroyed the fabric of the club and now people want to bring Hird back...

**** me dead.

Let Rutten see out next year if he wants too. Pay him out if he wants that. Least we can do.

 

[HTPunter]

Sheedy did a lot for Essendon, as well as Madden and to a lesser extent Wellman. This all goes without saying.

But they are burning the club from the inside. Sheedy has to go, toxic level of disruption, on Monday I thought he had pulled the coup of the century but turns out he's playing the blame game on others at the club he's reviewed twice in 2 years.

His sorry not sorry for treating Rutten so poorly was hideously embarrassing.

Now that you mentioned yep that's exactly what happend it makes sense

His sorry not sorry for treating Rutten so poorly was hideously embarrassing.

He managed to lose yet more respect from the wider football community for Essendon.

I didn't think it possible.

They all need to be sacked gut the entire board replaced with people who know what the ****ing they are doing

Possible, but imo more likely that the motivation was to scuttle the Clarko bid and pave the way for Hird to return.

 

[HTPunter]

Back rutten in Bombers it's not totally lost Ben is being strong I admire the bloke how he's handled himself this week

I reckon the way he's handled bodes well. Might work out well for the Bombers yet, Rutten may just need a united and supportive board and football department behind him to succeed as he's handled it well.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Watching Clarko's presser and Barham not even bothering to tap Clarko up weeks back speaks volumes about Barham's lack of judgement. Embarrassing.

 

[Mofra]

I'm not sure Sheedy is sober enough these days to be that cunning.
Legend of the game but not sure he's going to really add anything to a club anymore

 

[tonygeeks]

Those jorno’s are lucky he doesn’t have laser eyes like that Homelander campaigner from The Boys

 

[Ice-Wolf]

But that would also fail because people who know what the **** they are doing wouldn't be Essendon people.

 

[freddy mercury]

What a club.

Blond media manager needs to give him some tips on how to improve his public image I reckon

First on the agenda is give up on the last vestiges of that wispy hair.

 

[dmc333]

So does Hirdy remain coach in exile?
