    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: 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
