Shambles. Surely Rutten can’t last. Every time I hear him speak, I can’t help but feel he’s got to be the most uninspiring and cliche-ridden coach there is. Seems to have a smugness about him, almost arrogance - does he care enough?? I’m sure it’s not the case but perception is big in this game. Players don’t seem to be playing for him, not invested, and I think that’s a big deal. He’s prob a great bloke, but man as a supporter I would hate to have him at the helm. Not that I’m complaining!another brave Essendon performance.

A six goals to zero third quarter left the Essendon fans with that horrible realisation that the James Hird era was the highpoint of the past two decades.
Hawkins free was against Frost for a block, not a push.So I just need to clarify.
Porkins cheated by taking a massive dive.
Umpire rewarded the dive despite having no legitimate reason to pay a free kick.
Confused Hawk players pointed to the scoreboard.
The Umpires then magnified the injustice by paying a 50.
The AFL has now said that no dissent is allowed.
No comment on the dive. The AFL apparently condones that.
No comment on the Umpires error. The AFL apparently condones that.
Criticism for us for being confused.
So the victims are the bad guys.
Have I missed something?
Was as soft as butter, if there at all. Forwards do far worse blocking every game of every week for no penalty.Hawkins free was against Frost for a block, not a push.
He dived and will cop a staging fine for it.

He will. There is no doubt. It was worse than the McKay one where he got done.Will he be fined?
Why haven't we heard anything yet?
It seems like the AFL wants to talk about dissension but overlook the acting.
He will. There is no doubt. It was worse than the McKay one where he got done.
Suspect it gets announced later tonight

Time for players to learn a second language so they can curse and get their frustrations out.The inconsistency at the moment is staggering.
Players and umpires both confused as to how to go about it, AFL incapable of admitting there may have been at minimum some overcorrections so far and fail to penalise obvious.
