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

The user name has died a long time ago along with club

Time to change it. How about I've Hird Enough. For A new one

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

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

Yep if we really wanted clarko we should have made the decision when the club was 2-10 not in the last week

Exactly that would show respect to Clarko and Rutten.

Dunno if Clarkson is the answer for Essendon.

Multiple ‘failed‘ coaches and two decades of mediocrity tells me that the fish is rotting closer to the head.

Not well versed enough in their structures and/or wealthy power brokers who hold sway over the board, but IMO something is seriously off higher up in the food-chain that no new coach will fix.

If I remember correctly Worsfold alluded to something along these lines.

Kevin Sheedy should have nothing to do with the club anymore either, yet I read that he’s a significant driving force in the Clarkson chase.

He’s a legend of the club, but much like McGuire at the Pies, has reached a used by date and shouldn’t be let anywhere near the place IMO, lest the cycle continue.

Excellent prognostications Dopemaster, we may make a man out of you yet.

Imagine going through all of that, and then the guy you torched your club to get goes to the wooden spooners.

What a joke.

Nevermind Bombers fans, I'm sure Hird is available.

The funniest part of this whole sage is Robbo trying to grease the path for Hirdy to snake back into the club. What‘s wrong with that rotund, stammering, urine-scented drunk? Oh, all those things…

Clowns the lot of them at board level and Barharm today just proved it.

I seriously don't get it, he's a failed coach, tried to cheat and ended up with a squad with soft tissue injuries, then came back after his suspension and had zero success, why would anyone want him as head coach?

Because none of that was his fault.

I'll be laughing when Hirdy tells his side of the story and you're going to feel like a *...

 

[Ice-Wolf]

If he's a good boy they let him watch.

 

[The 747]

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

Surely you do a moch run with media coach first.

Yeah didn't fill me with confidence, the bloke has NFI.

 

[Deepthroat]

That Barham interview would have to be one of the worst President interviews I've seen.

He literally seemed to have no idea about culture, people or building a long term successful club.

It was all about "what I need to do". Stuff who he upsets in the process.

Some of the best material was left to last when he was asked what he would say to lure the next coach to the club. Isn't that exactly the same spiel they sold to Rutten to get him across?

Barrett rarely gets anything right but he was right here. Several board members need to go. Once again if the external review is actually done professionally.

 

[SunshineBoy]

I would be shocked to be sitting there listening

 

[Gavin Excell]

Yerp one of the worst damage control pressers I’ve ever seen.

To call it a dumpster fire would be disrespectful to dumpster fires everywhere

That the President hasn't found the time to speak to Rutten last few days says a bit

 

[blackshadow]

I haven't seen the interview with the Essendon president but read a general summary.

My impression from the summary of the interview is they dragged Rutten through the mud in pursuit of Clarkson. Now that Clarkson has declined them they have NFI what to do now and need to come up with a plan on Sunday.

Not very encouraging as far as the Essendon admin goes.

Too entitled and arrogant to think that someone would refuse them.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

After seeing that presser from Barham I’ve realised I’m actually overqualified to be an AFL club president, and I don’t know shit.

Third time lucky?

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

Told y'all a while back Soloman

Told y'all a while back Soloman

Perhaps, but certainly suits their mindset
