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

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I agree - these guys go into coaching knowing its a ruthless business and are paid well for the privilege - there are only 18 jobs available.

It's like we murderd Rutten or something fmd

Im angry how we treated him but senior coaching is a ruthless buissnes.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I'd go for Ross out of those 3
Wasn't popular on the North board but I was thinking Ross if we missed out on Clarko.

Ross would install a tough defensive brand and weed out any players that are soft

 

[The Nostradamus]

They are going to need someone strong like Ross or Don Pyke

Who will stand their ground against the board and push back where needed

Then would be happy to kick 5 goals to 4 every week.

Essendon should be giving senile old Sheedy his marching orders. He was already many years out of date when he was let go as senior coach in 2007, it's unbelievable he still has as much influence as he does in 2022. The fact he wants Hird back just says it all!

The only thing keeping me supporting this club is the womens team other than that I’d be taking a trip to the Salvos to dump some merch

You know that the footy department of the undefeated premiership winning VFLW side have already walked, reportedly due to culture issues?

Must have been cool having Christopher Walken as a teacher

Mate there has been some cool posts.... But this one is brilliant.

Christopher Walken as a teacher would of been interesting.

He was an army Sergeant in one movie. Damn it, I wished I remembered what movie it was

Doubt they would want it. They have standards you know.

Won't happen. Neither are Essendon enough.

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

Has Hird actually been mentioned by anyone linked to the club as a possibility? Or is it just a meme

 

[King Tenz]

I don't understand why they didn't have the balls to just sack him on Monday before speaking to Clarkson.

Would've saved some of the negative media attention they got.

Robbo has been running the story for a week.

In total agreement. I'd like to add the entire board, Campbell and Dodo.

But it won't happen because its Essington. But it could happen if the members didn't pay up next year and stopped going to games. The old voting with your feet and wallet scenario. Unfortunately though there's so many nuffies around i don't see that happening either.

Just wanted to say as well while I've got the chance, congrats on the NMFC for getting the best coach in the modern era. The club did its job well and AC will steer your club right.

 

[RUNVS]

Essendon are going back to the coach that abused them aren't they? Unfortunately the police can't press charges if Essendon won't tell them it was not a doornob that caused their black eye.

But they won't, I don't understand how he's kept his job. He's whole ******* job is to build a list capable of winning finals. He's job is to recruit players to win finals. They haven't won a final since 2004, he's whole ******* job is to do equip the coaches with the players they need to fill the void to win premierships. They haven't even won a ******* final.

Make it make ******* sense!

I've got no answer for you.We finished last in 2010 and we had a new list manager by the 29th of September that year. We are on our 4th list manager in Rohan O'Brien who is the 3rd list manager since we won a premiership. We would have a new board if we were in Essendon's position.

 

[zeggie]

Essendon always have to 1 up their rivals.

We treated Teague poorly last year, and now Essendon took that to amazingly deplorable new levels with Rutten over the course of a single week. Rabble.

Anyone credible tho? lol

100%

 

[Patronus]

Nowhere near that figure.
Negotiated payout will be likely 6mths at most

With the way they have gone about getting rid of him I doubt he would be wanting anything less than every cent they owe him. They have fired him why would he do them the favour of negotiating.

 

[hoddo22]

That would be 3/4 of the list.

I don’t think you could treat a coach more poorly.

 

[The Edukator]

I hope they keep dodo though. No coach can outdo him.
