I'm confused, Rutten hasn't been sacked yet so why is Clarkson telling everyone he's interested in the bombers job? 

Gee Rutten would be feeling low.

If Clarkson does take the bummers gig, I'll cry if he gets Todd over & would have to see Todd in essenscum gear

    This just highlights what a low life dog of a club Essendon is. To leave Rutten in such a lame duck and humiliating position is unbelievably shabby treatment.

    I must say I haven’t followed Rutten’s career much.  What was his apprenticeship with what areas of responsibility? 
    Would he make a midfield or a forward coach?  I realise he was an ex defender but that could prepare his as a forward coach.

    It is an awful way to treat your senior coach. The club has really lost its way and is a joke.

    Maybe. Or maybe Essendon is working to develop an appropriate severance package. I assume Rutten can't quit or he loses the right to claim a severance payment. And Essendon presumably didn't start working on an appropriate arrangement until yesterday. Hopefully the delay is being caused by Essendon trying to do the right thing by Rutten now that they've (presumably) decided to move him on.

    I wonder what they'll do if Clarkson turns them down...

    It is being reported that Clarkson is "interested" in talking to Essendon, but for all we know, he's just doing that (if it's true) to extract a better deal from North.

    He can't resign or he loses his money. 

    If they get Clarko he is gone and will have to be paid out. Probably gone now anyway, as they have backstabbed him.

    I would take him on as an Assistant Coach, at no salary, until his Bombers payment ends and then he could be paid by us for his role.

    We could perhaps pay some out of pocket expenses, to boost his salary a little, but he would be getting full Coaches' pay from the Bombers.

    How does that sound? He works for us and is paid by them.

    If Bombers don't like it, he could be listed by us as a Trainer.

    Don't know if we would, but it now looks like Yze is gone. Apparently down to Mc Veigh, Kingsley and Yze for Giants.

    Yes you tend to do a lot of lateral thinking. Maybe my pillows are too high at night and it affects the tilt of my head.

    Looks like a fair chunk of the playing group threw him under the bus on Sunday.

    Catching up on Footy Classified right now. That footage of Nick Hind coming off and not even looking at Rutten was cringeworthy.

    He doesn't have the buy in.

    Agree wouldn't be a tick in the plus for Clarko when he is weighing it up. Honestly sack him let him coach his last game with dignity and move on. It's really disgusting , how the club can ever claim to be one that looks after its staffs mental health after this .

    Haven’t read most of this thread, but I regard the way Essendon is treating Rutten, as akin to cheating on your long term partner, in public.  The relationship is no longer tenable.

    I'm pretty sure Rutten was highly rated before the Essendon job.

    I wonder what his chances are ending up an assistant next year?

    I could see him at the Dee's replacing Yze

    I actually thought it was the wrong appointment at the time as there was a mega walkout looming at the same time. It appears as though the group never really had the respect and belief from day 1 given how fragile the whole club after making the top 8 last year. 

    I think the AFL should throw an extra -20% to ensure Clarkson ends up at Norf. Essendon need to suffer for much much longer.

    I do not care what happens regarding Rutten and Clarkson as long as Essendon keep missing the finals. They are the one team I truly loathe.

    Hope for his sake he's bringing prime Franklin, Roughead, Hodge and Rioli too.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
