Ben Rutten - sacked

Clarko or no clarko the people who have continually made poor decisions days are numbered and for me that’s a bloody good start…

Absolute ■■■■ wreck

That’s cringey

Potentially but to me, Barhams skillset doesn’t sound like he would put his neck on the line based on a hunch or 11th hour bid.

I think you’re reading too much into it.
I think Zac can read the tea leaves.
He’s had 5 coaches in his career.
I’d say almost 99% of the ‘footy public’ know Rutten is a dead man walking.

That’s Robbo for ya

As opposed to the long list of stunning virtuoso performances in 2017 and 18?

There’s probably 3 coaches that can steer this rudderless ship back to the powerhouse we once was.

1.Clarko
2.RTB
3. HARDWICK

Can anyone fill me in on what happened or what was said on 360 with Zac?

Zac kissed a guy and he liked it, then told him to ■■■■ off

That’s about it isn’t it?

The above May or May not have happened.

Bland is what did. As to be expected, well media trained in saying not a whole lot controversial.

Clearly not happy where things are at. Wants to shove it right up Richmond this week for the fans to walk the walk finally.

Said that he took his time last year to re-sign because he wanted to know what direction the club was going in.

And that it’s a bit disappointing to be in this position. However, once the club decides on the direction, he’ll fall “massively in line”

The look on Whateley’s face says it all. I don’t usually watch 360, but I did tonight to see how Zach handled himself. Is Robbo brain damaged or does he go to air ■■■■■■? How many times did he lurch at Whateley, who you could tell was thinking “don’t farking touch me you slob”.

I start with I don’t know much.

However there are key people at rival clubs (multiple clubs) who think it’s just a matter of time before clarko lands at ess. Educated guess or inside knowledge?

Think Robbo’s performance tonight was because he actually prefers someone else (#5) to replace Rutten.

The encouraging thing is that exactly the opposite of what he has posted has occurred…which would mean Clarko will definitely be coaching Essendon! :+1::grin::+1:

This the same guy that sold fake 2021 Premiership Merchandise? Real reliable…

yep, reminds me of the theory from the moneyball to a degree how before that recruites would go on feel and perceived talent when picking players.

you look at say melbourne storm, I’d love to know what skillset/traits they have as the cornerstone of their drafting/recruiting because talent seems to be one aspect of it sure, but the individual seems to need matching traits that they value to warrant picking them up.
Justin olam is a prime example, i’m sure they said he started out in PNG and they don’t even have rugby balls up there, they use bottles filled with water (or something like that) to getting him to where he is now.

club seems to be better at picking similar types of players in mid season drafts or right just before the season starts better than in the actual draft.

Just watched 360.

When Zac says "fall massively into line’, i hope he means…when Clako tells him we’re going with Mason as Captain, Zac supports the decision.

Yeh it’s brilliant isn’t it. It won 1st prize at the Cannes International Advertising Festival in 2008. I think this one came 2nd.

Of course he’s gonna say that
