Essendon = Entitlement
- Thread starter Number8
- Start date
Best thing for Rutten to do is just drop the bundle and go through the motions to let us win easily. If he knows he has no chance, I'd give it back to the senior management a-holes in spades.
Normally I would agree but we need a good tune up this week...hopefully they'll take the game up to us
Ha ha yes! These arsewipes again. Although I don't think they were so publicly pursuing another coach whilst Knights was still in charge.
Same here jb, my supervisor was one such entitled arse, always treated Richmond with disdain and as a bad footballing joke!
I left just as the drug saga hit that club! Never got my paybacks to that arse! Both Sheedy and Hird are an ongoing pox for that club!
Yeah that's because they already had him line up and they let Hird do their dirty work. I think Knights was sacked a week or so after this.
Hird sorry to make waves
James Hird apologises to Matthew Knights for his destabilising comments hinting of a desire to take charge at Essendon.
yeah, i reckon Knights worse treated worse. he was only booted so Hird could get the job. he was going ok.
There would be speculation about Rutten's job, soon if not this week, regardless of Clarkson.
Sure;y he will get the boot now, even if Clarkson goes to North?
I think they went like 7-8 weeks hanging Teague out to dry didn’t they ? Every week him and the players were being asked about his job.
Carlton and Essendon were the last of the Melbourne clubs to enter the professional age.
The poorer clubs were forced to do it early doors because they have no hubris or entitlement poisoning the well.
Collingwood began their process a decade ago. Eddie, despite his foibles, was the architect.
Richmond has now had two presidents and several years to develop the organisational excellence we now enjoy. Brendan Gale is of course the critical component.
Geelong, for all our hatred, has been a *superbly* run club for possibly the longest time. They are just magnificent. Good presidents and CEOs.
Hawthorn have been exceptionally well run for well over a decade.
Which leaves Essendon and Carlton repeating the same mistakes again and again.
Pulling past players into key roles, always looking for the “big” coach, picked at constantly by over-powered coterie groups, deluding themselves they are still destination clubs and compromising their list recruitment strategy accordingly.
I would argue Carlton is on the verge of dragging themselves free of this primitive mud.
But Essendon’s one chance of escaping lay in Paul Brasher’s hands. And Xavier Campbell’s. Good operators both but the ferals have come for them. Barham is a chest-beater and now it looks like Sheedy is over-involved.
Just delicious. Of all the clubs once trapped in the 80s, Essendon might just be the only one left in the pit.

Knights was going so well he got them into the finals with 10 wins!
Hawthorn has been an exceptionally run club for over half a century.
Collingwood probably 20+ years since Fat Ed took charge.
Got to give Steven Wright credit alongside Gary March for us.
The Wright/March presidency period was our move towards stability,proper planning,not leaking everything to the press.
They did too.
When you look at it the 1960s was a good decade for them. 3 grand finals and 2 flags
To me Essendon need to tell Sheedy to *smile* off and stay a million miles away from them.
Not to mention he was giving players there end of season reviews, including advising those delisted, in the immediate days before he was finally let go.
They knew full well then he was gone and put him (and the players) through that.
Weak.
