    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

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

    The whole club needs a fresh start.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
