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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
