Would Rutten be a potential replacement for Yze?

maybe yesterdays comments by Goody was part of scenario planning by MFC as per speaking with Gundy.

Heady days for us! reigning premiers quietly working away in the background without in-fighting and leaks. Even the stuff the Warner was agitating with earlier in the year has been met with a collective and consistent response

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

I get the whole brotherhood of coaching. A sacked coach is quickly offered an assistant job at another club. But if we were to lose Yze I’d prefer to go after someone like Scott Pendlebury. Having said that I’ve got no idea if he’s interested in coaching.

Printing this post out and putting it on the fridge. Some things just make you happy

Hird's coaching record is 41 wins, 42 losses, 142 illegal injections and 10 years of football obscurity.

Sounds to me like he definitely should coach them again. 

My Essendon mate literally said today that he has it in him to be an amazing coach and that he would love to have him back. They are literally brainwashed and delusional. Long may it continue.

I'd prefer Rutten to Hird any day of the week.

Clarko’s decision opens the door for shock Hird return

Alastair Clarkson has committed to North Melbourne - and his decision has left the door open for a sensational twist. Here’s the exclusive details.

Here’s the exclusive details?? Exclusive as no one else would run with baseless nonsense like this. 
how about a retraction Robbo?!

Have to hand it to Clarko, he seems like one of few men of integrity left. Never said a bad word about the Hawks when he was sacked by them a week after them saying he would coach out his contract. 

now he keeps his word to North. Some people in the media knew he wouldn’t leave them in the lurch just because a much bigger club came knocking at the last minute. He is clearly not in it for the fame and attention

I’m in two minds. I’m happy for North and it sticks it up the Bombers. But to be honest I wanted North to fold and a 18th team in Tasmania. This competition can’t and shouldn’t be forced to try and sustain a 19th or 20th team. This now keeps the Wolves from the door. 

North was never relocating to Tassie. If they couldn't send them to the GC in 2007 they weren't relocating to Tassie now that they are debt free for the first time since the 80's and have almost 50k members.

I believe Pendles is playing on next year.

Congratulations North Melbourne you got your man and hopefully a better future for your club and thanks Bombers for your shameless behaviour throwing your coach under the bus. When will you learn that integrity, dignity and scruples are what appeal to prospective employees.!!!!!

Last night on 360, Jordy Lewis was asked whether Essendon would consider keeping Rutten on if Clarko declined

Answer - why would Rutten even consider staying after what’s happened? Essendons handling of this situation has been disgraceful

Good on Clarko, in no way would he go to bombers.  Even for his reputation, its easier to look good and easier by bringing up the bottom side, like Roo's did with us.  Whether they make finals within his contract is moot, he'll build a solid foundation and culture, as with appended with us.

 

As for Rutten, He can't stay on how he's been treated by a separate club.  The should do the right thing and pay him out, but not sack him.  They obviously enough don't have any faith in him.

there's nothing more of interest or new in s lobbo's article, so you haven't missed anything

Then why post something that no one would miss?

A summary would be nice, comments optional, rather than a link you can't read.

I don't subscribe to the Sun on principle.

You don't need to read the article, the punchline was in the headline.

I’m against a 19th club, if the AFL wasn’t a team in Tassie I’d rather another team fold.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
