Career stats he's basically the same as Sam Gray.

Basically the same as Cyril Rioli too. Stats can be misleading.

Telling a coach he is sacked 12 months ahead of time has always worked well

Would be a mutual decision otherwise Woosha would have walked I’d imagine.
I don’t think he had plans to stay beyond the end of next year anyway

Could Essendon have afford to pay him out?

The money isn’t an issue.
The club believes Rutten will be best served by doing a year of on the job training under Worsfold.

Apart from the facts that Rutten and Roo don’t get along and that the Woosha/Rutten succession plan had been in the pipeline for 12 months and first reported by the papers about 4 weeks ago

If I was a coach in waiting and had a choice, I wouldn't select Adelaide. Rutten I think has made the right choice.

We are a basket case, hopefully he can change that.
Not sure it was really a decision as this had pretty much been agreed on for awhile now.
Interesting that Caracella has committed himself to be Rutten’s 2IC rather than chase a coaching job though

If bombers dont make finals do they sack woosha and rutten now

Yes true but he has more hope of surviving the circumstances in Melbourne than he does in Adelaide. Adelaide is in all sorts I fear. Their next coach will get hammered by the media.

Essendon are a bit better placed but only if they can save Daniher from leaving.

With Essendon the list has a bit more to work with. Also whilst Essendon are in the media a bit being a bigger club, it's not the fish bowl Adelaide would be.

Aaron Francis has signed on until at least the end of 2022.

Someone on SEN mentioned that this morning so I wonder who is leaking the info?

Ha!
Just funny that he had a two year offer on the table and then this morning a bloke rings in and says Francis will sign a 3 year deal and half a day later it’s done lol

With ISC in financial strife Essendon have severed ties with them and signed a 5 year deal with Under Armour to produce the clubs apparel.

Saad had a pretty good year and most expected him to finish about where he did. Our voting system rewards games played also and he was pretty durable this year. We did have a pretty crap year too so so hard to find many that a real good year. Merrett won it and I thought his year was pretty ordinary TBH
