I bet you've got multiple accounts no one knows about

I agree... he has some mental issues... even if he wanted out ... the smart thing to do is exactly what Lever did... give nothing away.

But if we wanted him... we'd have to overpay.... it's the tax you have to pay no matter what and I would be happy to pay. Stars wanting home don't usually come our way often.

Mental issues?

So far we've heard he hates ice baths and wanted to see his Mum on Mother's Day. Visibly hates losing. Also 19 years old.

 

[DJ75]

The whole - 'Rutten has been sacked', 'Rutten actually has not been sacked', 'Rutten will be sacked in the next 24 hours', 'Rutten will not be sacked this year' fiasco is a perfect example of this.

Just making things up to manufacture drama.

And then blame the club for not addressing the drama....

 

[Mr_Moogle]

And if Rutten isn't sacked, they're just wrong and everyone knows it and there are still zero consequences for the "journalist". They can't lose either way.

It's infuriating. Journalism has morphed into professional shit stirring with no accountability. The AFL should be ashamed of themselves. They could regulate this but they're perfectly fine with it because it creates "engagement".

A player isn't just worth more because they have a contract.

It doesn’t change what they are worth, it changes what you have to pay to get them.

You forgot lack of respect to senior players

 

[Crow till I die]

Yep..

Goldie to horne..'whats your problem mate'

Horne to goldie ' i hate losing and too many blokes in this team are far too accepting of it'

Goldie to horne ' if you don't like losing, better ask for a trade to the crows then'

Goldie to JHF “ well shows the way and stop sookn”

I can see one glaring problem with that suggestion.

As long as they happily polish every turd the VFL drop and don't question their overlords, they can do as they please.

This is the most infuriating part.

If a player messes up, the media hound and hound. If a coach is under performing, they hound and hound. Yet they get to sit there on their keyboards and just mash out absolute bullshit.

"RUTTEN SACKED!!!"
"No he isn't."
"Whoops, lol. Himmelberg to Freo!"
"He just signed on."
"Drat. Clarko has the North job."
"Not agreed to yet."

And there's never a single consequence of getting it wrong. Bevo is a flog but I'd love a bit more of a hit back from players and coaches.

To be fair, all those statements can be true
It’s like they are predictive

Yeah, I didn't hear or see anything in his last two years at the Panthers. Anyone have any insight there?

Gut feel is he is extremely competitive and hates being in a side that gets flogged so his emotions get the better of him.

It seems whenever he plays VFL he performs so surely that's signs of a good attitude...

I reckon that situation was a "journalist" hedging their bets. If he is sacked they can say they were first

Rutten WAS sacked .....my info direct from within the ESS Board .....something happened after the Board Meeting ?

Also true, that another big name is in the crosshairs .....Xavier Campbell, but what's complicating matters is many have Dodoro in the gun, but he has important allies .......it's a real s***fight !

I heard Essendon have appointed a new coach......

Ok what I actually heard was Scomo appointed himself Essendon Coach.

In the dictionary, under “arrogant” ....in brackets, says Essendon Football Club ......just a terrible institution

Scummo also cheated to get preselection in the seat of Cook. It is a match made in (supply side) heaven.
