Common sense prevails. Rutten just wasn’t up to the job.
The return of Hirdy is imminent.
Brace yourselves eggheads for the epic comeback as we rise from the ashes of mediocrity and once again dominate the competition!

Oh boy that sure would be terrible if Essendon poached our great coach ken Hinkley. Yessir I would sure be very sad about that if they swooped in and took him away.
God help us all of he can return to the heights of his drug assisted 48 per cent win rate
The only hope is another club offers him an assistant spot. He certainly doesnt deserve to disappear.
Taught our players to guard grass and carrel thier opponentIf I was managing Essendon I would sack Rutten.
Not having a soft **** nice guy coaching my team. Especially no full back. There is more to the gameand carrle then just one on one footy.
Somehow I think Hird has enough common sense not to return as coach.
Albert Einstein - Tom Browne - Isaac NewtonDid Tom Browne just say Essendon probably won't name an interim coach ... because there aren't any games left.
Yeah, no sh*t Tom.
I heard that as well.Tom Browne believes that Essendon won’t announce an interim coach as it has no more games to play. How on earth do these people get jobs, yes I know it’s all in the nepotism
What about Dank FFS?Surely it's time to get the dream team together?
Spike- Hirdy - Weapon
Robbo will let you know later (when he sobers up)Tom Browne believes that Essendon won’t announce an interim coach as it has no more games to play. How on earth do these people get jobs, yes I know it’s all in the nepotism
And Malthouse was a back pocket.If I was managing Essendon I would sack Rutten.

Someone strong is the last person the Board wantsThey are going to need someone strong like Ross or Don Pyke
Who will stand their ground against the board and push back where needed
There are no limits to the stupidity of that man.Did Tom Browne just say Essendon probably won't name an interim coach ... because there aren't any games left.
Yeah, no sh*t Tom.
Genuinely: How long has Ken been there and what’s his W/L ratio been like? He might just need a change of scenery.Oh boy that sure would be terrible if Essendon poached our great coach ken Hinkley. Yessir I would sure be very sad about that if they swooped in and took him away.
At least he was sitting with the rest of the remedial class when spouting his pearls of wisdomThere are no limits to the stupidity of that man.
