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

[juss]

So they now need to arrange a caretaker coach for one week to go in the season? It could have waited an extra 7 days

What do you mean a caretaker? There's one irrelevant game left for them. Any of the assistants will just step in, go through the motions and training, give them a bit of a rah rah before the game, attend a press conference or two and then it's all over. There's not much that needs to go into it given their season position.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Has to be surely

They can get Hird or Lyon etc any time

Yep and the coach won't be the only change

if reports are true that sections of the board aren't happy with the internal reveiwe and want an external one then no one is safe

 

[Collingwood 4 eternity]

Is Hardwick a candidate for Essendon , and Clarkson goes to Richmond

 

[Bald]

Barrett have Essendon as front runners for Clarkson.

Surely a press conference is announced soon.

 

[Chuckie357]

Thought that said Ratten for a moment!

Should be

 

[hawkman]

Barrett have Essendon as front runners for Clarkson.

Surely a press conference is announced soon.

North might as well fold if Essendon beat them to Clarkson

 

[RAPPA]

Is Hardwick a candidate for Essendon , and Clarkson goes to Richmond

And North are yet again left with their d**k in their hands

 

[HTPunter]

Any consensus from Bomber fans on this being good/bad?

While I'm not sure what all these reviews are other than glorified sacking expeditions, surely at least you have to have an external one not internal? What if the board is the core issue and you've got 3 board members who ran one a couple of years back coming to the same conclusions?

Sack that milquetoast Brasher and keep Truck

Sack that milquetoast Brasher and keep Truck

Brasher went last night

Incredible if they pull this off, I'd be confident it's been in the works for longer than just today, to keep it quiet/hidden is remarkable. Everyone looking at Norths offer while Essendon get their ducks in a row.

Barrett have Essendon as front runners for Clarkson.

Surely a press conference is announced soon.

wheres he saying this?

 

[kaiserchief13]

All was fine before yesterday's game but 1 poor performance = head coach sacked????

Just all round BS from this club. Apparently inexperienced coaches are beneath a club like Essendon. Rabble from top to bottom. Clarkson will join Bomber Thompson and Woosha as premiership coaches that make precisely zero difference. I don’t know when they’ll realise it isn’t the coach.

 

[Bald]

wheres he saying this?

On the live show Footy Feed, said that Essendon are front runners for Clarkson and that is what has led to what’s happening today.

Welcome to the Essendon Football Club

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Clubs are going to see the difference a new coach makes (McRae, Voss, Fagan) have rapidly accelerated dire clubs into finals contention.

Coaches are going to get sacked more often very surprised Hinkley will still be there.

 

[hairy biker]

obviously moving quickly to try to secure a certain coach. Ugh

 

[00Stinger]

****ing laughable

Rutton gets a team that was expected to be bottom 4 last year to the finals

Then this year they probably slip down to about where they were expected to be (maybe a little lower) and he gets sacked

 

[Wosh]

A lot of this stuff belongs in Bay 13, just try to have some sort of reasonable discussion here. Please.

 

[g_TRAIN]

What a joke,.

Rutton doesn't deserve this

Internal one was a waste of time, we've needed an external one for a while.

******* laughable

The truth as always is somewhere in the middle. They’re certainly not a finals level team but they’re not bottom four either. They really should occupy the upper regions of the bottom 10 IMO.

 

[00Stinger]

Hope Lloyd and Barrett are happy with getting Rutton sacked

 

[Darksidepoints]

Pretty harsh.

If hes gone, then those above him need to go to.

Need a full clean out.

Inc some of the players.
