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.

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
