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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
