Coaching Staff Former Coach Ben "Truck" Rutten - Sacked for real this time - 21/8

[RearNaked]

Got smashed then go hugs the other teams players… unbelievable

 

[DallasCrane316]

Seeing Rutten in tears in the room and hugging his family was hard to watch.

Got smashed then go hugs the other teams players… unbelievable

More of an indictment on our mob showing him 0 support.

Got smashed then go hugs the other teams players… unbelievable

Shut up

 

[westking]

If he could only crack a wobbly or ten in an after game press conference. Some anger/passion/a clenched fist…just something other then a straight bat. Replace the honest ‘I don’t know answers’ with a ‘I’m really pissed off’ reply.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Got smashed then go hugs the other teams players… unbelievable

Got smashed by his own team all week.

 

[Burzum]

KEEP HIM

 

[ant555]

Thanks for the effort Truck. Too bad you where put in a position to ultimately fail.

Well at least he got respect from them when he was there. Unlike the crap we dealt him.

 

[Phone]

fairly certain he had tears after hurleys goal

 

[Lore]

It’s probably relief in a way… like the pressure comes off and there’s nothing else to focus on except everything else

 

[nipst@r]

More of an indictment on our mob showing him 0 support.

Yeah I thought could have been more of our players getting around him.

Who knows maybe media chooses not to show that as against narrative but didn't seem like a lot consoling or supporting him.

 

[RearNaked]

Sook coach and sook players “I’m proud of them” just got smashed mate

 

[BomberManU]

Let him see out his contract, let the dickheads above feel the heat.

 

[Lore]

Sweet baby Jesus

 

[Doss]

fairly certain he had tears after hurleys goal

He did.

 

[Doss]

Sook coach and sook players “I’m proud of them” just got smashed mate

Stfu and log off.

 

[Lore]

He’s the only one that actually acts like he gives a s**t about the supporters

I’m so confused

 

[RearNaked]

Stfu and log off.

Chill big fella

 

[Lore]

Twomey questions

 

[Bombermania]

Feel for Rutten, He has poorly coached at times and missed key players to injury however the ultimate responsibility rests with the players and its them that should be feeling the heat.

 

[justlookingaround]

This is painful

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Thanks for your service. Club has treated him s**t this week but his performance hasn't been up to par. For whatever reason the team doesn't play a cohesive gamestyle and unfortunately the coaches go before the players.

Hopefully we go through a proper process for our next coach. But can't see why anyone good would want to coach us.

 

[brownezaka]

if we get rid of truck now then they will loose so many of us Essendon faithful.
This is our Hardwick/Goodwin moment. If we fold now then we are setting ourselves back years.

I love this club so much and if we turn our back on truck we are essentially turning our back on the players and I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to support that.

 

[Tassieboy]

Rutten said he doesn’t need an answer within a certain timeframe. Basically been making a pitch for his job next year.
