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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
