Hill thinks Integrity ran in last years Melbourne Cup.
The tough thing is that he's on $500K to coach them and there aren't any other viable head coaching jobs for him to jump to. That's a lot to give up in order to go back to being an assistant. Maybe he should bide his time, try and get them into finals next year and then jump ship to Port Adelaide when they sack Hinkley.

He can't keep his job now.
Just has to wait until they sack him so he gets paid out.
Spent a fair bit of time with him in Vietnam a few years ago, drinking. We brought him out for a function. The guy is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Truly a good guy.
So he won't throw a gatorade bottle or send players on a wacky cult camp like our best coaches?

Before joining Worsfold at Essendon, Rutten was the defensive coach at Richmond from 2015-18
On the basis that I believe we should be considering replacements for one or both of Pratt (Backs) and Webster (forwards) bringing Rutten over to be our backline coach wouldn’t be the worst idea. Not sure how we’d go fitting him under the spending cap though assuming he was even interested

North Presser now.
"Fond memories about playing days and remembering old North games".
"Club needed help and support and was pivotal in making the decision"
Was always leaning North but made decision at 7:30pm last night.

Pratt came across with Simpson and spent time with both the AFLW and WAFL sides. I think he’s actually been ok and was backline coach in 2018
Webster joined in 2015 and was a development/WAFL coach initially. Has been forwards coach the last 3?years. Personally I think he’s the weakest of our line coaches
Happy if Pratt stays but would like to see Webster moved on to continue the refresh of our assistants from last year
This is it for Norf now. If they can’t make it work under Clarkson…
I did lol, reading the Essendon thread and a Norf supporter comments about how they (Norf) will have 80k members next year… That’s definitely a, how should we say, optimistic thought

The perfect quote to illustrate Essendon’s opinion of themselves.
I don't think Clarko will work for North, for a few reasons. Firstly, he had a Hawks list to rebuild after 2018 and failed pretty badly at that over three seasons.
Secondly, they are paying him $1.1M out of a soft cap of $6.5M. For reference, Simmo is on about $800k and I've read articles saying that a rookie coach, Rutten, is on $500k. That is a lot of extra cash going to Clarko that means less resources elsewhere.
Thirdly, Clarko is apparently a bit of a tyrant that wants to take over all aspects of a club. He worked well at Hawthorn as they had strong personalities around him who could stand up to and manage him (eg Fagan). North is weak as piss, there's a good chance he burns out by taking on too much and no-one stopping him.
It sets up an interesting trade period. He will be going all out for bringing in experienced players, including guys from Hawthorn. Watch the AFL give them some second rounders to spread around as priority picks.

Big question now is, will getting Clarkson change Horne-Francis' mind about staying now? Or at least hang around for a few more years to give him a chance
Even their President calls them "Essadon"
