I just cannot believe how many Members that Club still has. 
they are a breed of their own. They Support Corruption basically. 81,000 delusional hideous creatures 

Ben Rutten might have been the only person who wanted that job. Is it too late to ask him back..

Hird maybe the only person who could do it.

Yeah, I think he will be good for them.

That gave me a good laugh when I heard him.  (He doesn't make me laugh much.)

Hird should have been run out of town on a rail, but there he is, still in the AFL coaching system. Given that that's not going to change, the best use of his talents is back at his spiritual home, running them into the ground and setting them back even more years.

Heard on the radio a theory that "someone" at Ess might be sabotaging their bright and shiny coach selection process to ensure that all the other viable candidates are discouraged, leaving only one man standing ....

Hope Ooze rules himself out. He's too good for them to ruin his coaching career. They are a coach-killing club

As Ross Lyon said, if you are not an 'Ess 'person',  after a couple of years you get spat out even if you make finals:  Knights, Worsfold and Rutten.

They did a lot better than their 'Ess people':  Hird, Bomber.

Stay away Adem!

This headline today in the Hun. Hird PR campaign in full flow, no doubt helped by Robbo. Essentially says that Hird made the mistake of being too trusting….

Honestly, by first stirring up media attention and making himself the front runner, then rejecting the entire process, Ross Lyon has actually confirmed that he is the perfect fit for Essendon.

But it does look like Hird will get the job.

After all, who better to return them to winning finals than the man who was their captain the last time they won a final?

In fairness it’s not Hird PR, it’s from the Howie games podcast which was taped in July and just it the podcast this week.

I do too. He's a really good footballing coach.

Ben Rutten will be an assistant coach at Richmond for the 2023 season.

Best of luck to Hird if he wants to coach again, but could there be a worse place to do it? Either go for the redemption story at GWS where nobody knows who he is in the street OR come back to Victoria like the messiah (despite not having done much the first time around), have people yelling at you about drugs whenever you go into the supermarket, and be caught in a civil war in a few years where 25% of the fans want to sack him and the other 75% would kill to save him. Anyone who encourages him to take the Essendon job is a goose.

I think it is a Fantastic Employment opportunity for us all. We can all Unite and despise Essendrug to the core!! :)

I think the desire to bring Hird back into the fold at Essendon has led to a case of tone deafness.  If they turned up their hearing devices and listened to Zac Merrett's underwhelming response to the possibility of Hird being reappointed it would give them pause for consideration before they pulled that lever.
