Ben Rutten - sacked

Players confused, arguing on the field with each other and giving up by half time.

Essendon 2022.

Remove these coaches NOW.

Didn’t we lose players in the VFL because we were so disorganised that we didn’t have a coach and and then we didn’t reach out to players till the week before the pre season started?

If Clarko is the egotistical dictator he’s made out to be, Sheedy might be the biggest impediment to getting him. Can’t have two blokes believing they’re the infallible shot caller co-existing.

Stupid comment from Sheedy yesterday

It’s a soft deadline and it was being reported before Friday just gone. They’d have to have some pretty good intel about our board to be putting the deadline in place as a reaction to anything we’re doing.

Unless the lynchpin was questioning the validity of the Executive , more so than the coaching.

There’ve been snippets of info that the camels back straw for Barham and supporters was the submitting of the ā€œinternal reviewā€ to the Board by Mahoney and Campbell a week or two back. Then the side completely imploded on Sunday. That’s probably killed off Rutten, but I’m not certain it was the main catalyst for a Board shift.

There’s a rocky road ahead for a little while as the intentions of the new President become clearer. Lots of moving parts, and lots of inaccurate reporting. The bullshit that we met Clarkson in Sydney , for instance.

This is such a stretch of an argument. Dodoro staying when he’s been part of the team. Coaches develop the game plan and it’s the recruitment team are responsible for finding the right players for the gameplan/system, are we honestly expected to believe that every coach he’s worked under has been allergic to mids 185cm or taller? Are we honestly meant to accept that through the last twenty years the best available, let alone the right talent is what was selected at our picks?

I think it’s far more feasible that if Sheedy is the puppet master in this as you’ve implied, that jackets is feeding him dirt from within the football department.

I’d just about call it the night of the long jackets.

But it’s the Essendon way. Did it to worsfold too.

Typical Essendon coming late…

I recon, if they have the feeling that Clarkson or any other hard ā– ā– ā– ā–  is coming in, that there are a number of them wondering if there’s any other club that would have them with attitude and skill issues.

Unless Lawry is pushing a narrative.

Oh man, you’ve given me full tin foil. Is there a chance that we’ve left it this late to go after Clako so that we’d be seen to chase him miss out and then use that as an argument for a sham process that results in Hird? With Sheedy behind it and that’s why he’s making dumb comments on radio about sending Clako and North to southern most state?

Did anyone catch the rumour file this morning? Apparently someone said the appointment won’t be Clarkson and left a cryptic clue as to who will be the coach. I didn’t catch it unfortunately

How long is it going to take for our players to learn CLARKOS CLUSTER.

Cryptic indeed

I hope something happens soon. My already minimal IQ points are evaporating fast due to 12hrs of SEN everyday.
