Assuming a Rutten payout is within the soft cap it's really hard to sack a contracted coach. I assume he has a contract for 2023 as he was only appointed at the start of the 2021 season.

Noble at North had a rolling 6 month contract so they only had to pay 6 months when he left. By covering with a "relief coach" for the last two or so months of the season the impact for North was not too bad

    I believe the AFL now have a rule that no coach can be paid out more that 6 months of ther contract. Stops clubs having to do a Clarko and fork out $1mill or more just to change coach

    With the soft cap, how can Essendon have more money to offer than North? Surely if Clarkson takes more money himself from Essendon there would be less available for all other football requirements, including assistant coaches.

    It all seems very much like Melbourne after the 186 game. Headless chooks not knowing who to sack and the order in which to sack them.   

    Very trustworthy club, I'm sure they wouldn't play shenanigans with the soft cap, would they?

    I know this was discussed but I think it only applies to the AFL funded clubs such as GCS and GWS. If it applied league wide it would make a mockery of 3 or 5 year contracts.

    This is how players are contracted (minimum term etc) so it's only fair coaches get the same deal.

    Would be nice to know for sure

    You might be right, though it could also be all clubs that signed up to be financially backed by the AFL at the start of the pandemic

    Effectively mean any AFL funded club could sign a 5 year coaching deal and give them the flick after 2 with only 6 months of pay

    You wonder if you will ever see player contracts with club level performance requirements.

    Missing out on the UEFA League commonly allows the megastars to walk as does relegation.

    Should a player such as Peter Wright have to stay around for a rebuild for example.

    Hoping Rutter stays. Mainly so they don’t get Clarkson but I also think it is harsh on rutten. They have been savaged with injuries all year. 

    they have 4-5 quality kids that Clarkson could build a good team with

    Rutts needs some god damn stability in that club. It's been turbulent ever since he came in.

    I reckon the bombers should try another succession plan.

    Get Jobe 'the wordsmith' Watson in as senior assistant, with rutten as the seasoned mentor type.

    Watson to take the reins after two more years treading water.

    From a demons and genuine footy fans perspective, I think this has much merit, as I dont think Jobe could coach backpackers to the airport.

    I really feel for Rutten. It feels like he has barely had time and space to build a list, form relationships with key club personnel etc... Whatever happens I hope he stays in footy. Maybe we take him if Yze departs?

    As far s the Bombers being in crisis: -
    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
    ... take a breath
    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    May they remain irrelevant and mediocre until the robots rise to kill us all.

    Feels like there is a divide within the club and they’ve been waiting for a big loss to make a move

    and aren’t we all just loving it!

    stability is key in the early years of a rebuild

    No point in sacking Rutten for 1 round.  

    Essendon would seem to be much more desirable that North or Giants or GC.  It's in Melbourne and the club has cash.  I expect Clarkson to hold off for a week.

    Sounds like they wanted to have a go at Clarko and if he is already committed, then they are probably keeping Rutten.

    Must make Rutten feel really valued 

    Maybe he should resign and leave them coachless

    Well he can make the choice between turning up to work at a club with state of the art facilities and money falling out've its pockets.
    Or to the club with their arzz hangin' out their pants.

    If he's going anywhere, it'll be to The Hanger.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
