Mate just told me its confirmed 

 
 

The sensible thing to do.

The Ess factions have been warring for a long time.  It wouldn't end if Clarkson went there; it may have even become worse.

Ess has kicked the biggest 'own goal' of all time.  They are now so badly fractured who knows how long it will take to put the pieces back together.  Would be happy if it takes 'forever'!

If Clarkson turns them down, who would be silly enough to take the coaching job.

Time for the popcorn!:cool:

 

Essendon. Lol

They've totally undermined their current coach. Is it possibly a case of constructive dismissal if Rutten wants to leave given his treatment without him taking a financial hit?

6,557 days and counting


Well Essendrug are really f:;$@ed now, just imagine what is going down inside that cesspool right now…

Surely the board and CEO can’t remain Teflon coated and unscathed.

The whole club needs a fresh start.

Norf I mean.

Very happy for North, sucked in you drug cheating flogs.

 


Imagine if someone told you on that horrible afternoon in September 2000 that in 22 years Essendon would have no more flags, haven't won a final since 2004, club was destroyed with factional infighting due to a systemic doping program under coach James Hird, Bombers had just missed out on landing the best coach of the modern era since Sheedy to North and Melbourne were the reigning premiers!

Can we pick up some pieces from the crumbling Bombers? Any decent player that may fit in our list?

This is just magnificent news. Well done Clarko

I would have said don’t wake me up. Still can’t forgive them for Long disgraceful hit on Troy Simonds and Dean Wallis thuggery. Thoroughly deplorable supporter group. Long May their demise last.

Draper!


Good on north.

Back to them beating us 17 times in a row I guess.

I really hope it's true.

When I was 11 I went to the footy every week with a mate.

He was a roos supporter so we alternated dees and roos games. Generally the roos games were at Arden Street.

So I have always had a soft spot for them, helped in the decades since then by the fact they have been residents of struggle town like the dees.

I remember how pumped I was when I heard roos was coming to the dees. Hope is a powerful drug.

I'm hoping roos fans get the chance to sample the hope drug.

Speaking of hope, If it comes to pass that Clarkson doesn't go to the bombers I hope it is not forgotten the role Mark Robinson and the Herald Sun, and 3AW for that matter, have played in the appalling way Rutten has been treated.

Their unseemly lust to break the story meant they got it wrong in claiming Rutten had been sacked. 

And then when that was proved wrong, there was no contrition or retraction. Just more churning the waters and ginning up a soap opera.

Just appalling.

They won't face any consequences because these days it seemingly doesn't matter at all when journalists make [censored] up or plain get it wrong. It used to. It doesn't any more. Robinson will just blame his source.

I hope the other coaches refuse to deal with him and the sun.

Harrison Jones, Mason Redman and Draper

 

Herald Sun saying May open the door for James Hird return. That will inject some optimism in Essendank. So hope that happens

It will be Hird. Purely to keep the membership base and the coteries happy. They worship at his altar.

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
