Last night I saw the footage on Footy Classified of a juvenile Nick Hind
refusing to sit next to Ben Rutten
in the coach's box, and then when he had no alternative, turned his back to Ben and refused to look at or even acknowledge the coach. I was completely gobsmacked. Hind must have known the TV camera was on him. What message did it send out? Apart from the obvious, i.e., Rutten is finished at Essendon. Nick Hind
doesn't take orders from the coach? The players rule Essendon?
I don't care who it was; that for me is possible one of the worst "non-violent" acts I have seen in AFL in recent times. If I was the incoming coach at Essendon I'd be sacking Hind. No respect for his 'boss'. Hind has done it once, he'll do it again.
Am I over reacting? Is Ben Rutten
that bad that there is zero respect for him? Who is to blame for where this is at? The player or the coach?
