Ben Rutten

So this review Brasher conducted could be all for nothing? Priceless. 

- Ben Rutten gone as coach of Essendon & Daniel Giansiracusa to coach this week. - David Barham to be next President of Essendon. Also, different sources saying Alastair Clarkson seriously considering an offer from Essendon 😳

North won't be happy about this...he was pretty much in the bag.

 


Now could be a good time to produce some Paperwork from 2012 Essendrug, clear the decks…..

Still the same cheating organization in my view…

wallow in mediocrity you bastards

Essendon would be a better job for Adam Yze as well. Let's see how fast the Roos and Giants move now. 

Still moving Rutten on with only one game to go is a bit poor.

Rutten probably lucky if he's not coaching next week. Richmond will mangle them.

Essendon will give it their all. Could be an upset.

Seems the North announcement of Clarko will be later this week. Hope he stays solid.

NNNOOOOOOO!!!! NO WAY IN HELL!!!

It’s bad enough that he’s leaving us, but surely not to go to that 💩 club!

I’ll start a petition! I’ll march on Parliament! I’ll chain myself to whatever protesters chain themselves to.

This can NEVER happen!

Forget the cash strapped Roos.
Clarko will follow the money and go to Essendon.


Oh god clarko will make Essendon good. Please don't go there.

Gee a bit harsh on Rutten. Keep him there so they keep losing. But seriously it was a terrible loss but I wonder if Clarkson wasn't available they'd have sacked Rutten.

No he won't.
Not gonna hit the draft jackpot again like he did at the Dawks.

If North don’t land him what’s left for the club?

Yeah Clarko's haul of 4 flags is obviously impressive but he did hit the jackpot with Buddy, Roughhead and Lewis in the one draft - not sure you could say Bombers or Kangas are in the same position.

I agree WCW But the Giants are doomed to fail. I would bet that the Drugcheats have already spoken to Clarko about the job anyway. You don't sack someone with only one game to play.

Trade JHF for Port’s pick 8 and another first rounder. Then this years draft picks.

Having said that, not sure how Port would obtain another 1st round pick and how much would Eagles have to lose by to drop below North on the ladder? 

 

Gee Essendon don't have much patience. First they get rid of Hird then sack Worsfold and now Rutten. How about giving a coach some time to build a list.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
