Why wouldn’t he just quit? 
And before anyone says he won’t get paid out the last year of his contract, we’re not talking about your average person on an average wage / salary. He spent 12 years on an AFL, he’d be doing alright, plus he’ll likely pick up an assistants role next year. Life’s too short, take the pressure / stress of your self and your family and walk away. 

Why should he walk now? He has the upper hand in any discussions - he would know that he’s not wanted now, so he should be getting the Bombers to pay him to walk. If he resigns, his payout will be much less.
 

I’d suggest that he probably has no stress now - he’s been treated so appallingly, that he has the sympathy of everybody. Plus, he could land a plum assistant role, while he waits for his shot at the big chair again.

No way. Hold Essendon to account and make them decide to sack him and pay what is due. Walking away gives Essendon too big an out from the payout after their deplorable handling of this. They should have to wear the cost and all the repercussions that come with it.

Make Essendrug pay him every cent (and more) that is owed. I have never seen a more shoddy way to conduct business. 
How is it possible to hate Essendrug more than I did last week??

 

Should Rutten get sacked or he moves on, would he be a suitable senior assistant for us as a replacement for Yze (assuming he gets the GWS gig)? Former teammate of Goody so already a relationship there.


But why do they need to sack him? Yes they got thrashed last week but he needs time.

They really have stuffed this up

Absolutely humiliating.

I hope for Ruttens sake that his contract is terminated, probably this Sunday.

Dare I say it, if Hird takes over  as head coach at Essendrug I will love to hate them even more than I have hated the ferals pretty much all my life!

I love the "forever Hirders" like Mark Robinson who always refer to the supplements saga and not the drugs saga,  so blinded by their loyalty to the red and black that they live in their own bubble and cant accept the reailty of the crimes they committed...just like "forever Trumpers" really....

 

Rutten aside (who I feel very sorry for), I am so here for this Essendon meltdown

I’ve identified you prior to this post DD as either a hater, or a person who is just envious because he doesn’t know anyone of any importance or influence in the AFL, or quite probably in any sphere of life. Just an ordinary person living an ordinary life in a little country town.

What I don't tolerate is fools and their admirers, I was just having a bit of fun with you because of your post but hey you obviously can't take a joke, I feel pity for you.

  • 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?
