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

    360 reporting that bombers are all in on Clarkson and just a matter of time until Rutten sacked.

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
