BARRETT: Time for ‘Truck’ to take charge as Dons crash out – AFL
Essendon’s hopes of playing finals are over and 2021 coach Ben Rutten should take over now, writes Damian Barrett
AND WE thought Collingwood’s coaching succession deal didn’t go to plan.
Compared with Essendon’s John Worsfold into Ben Rutten plans of 2020, the Pies’ Mick Malthouse to Nathan Buckley baton transfer of 2011 appeared almost seamless.
Buckley at least took over a successful on-field outfit; Rutten is inheriting a team which hasn’t won a final in 16 years, and now obviously after Sunday’s bad loss to St Kilda, won’t be figuring in this year’s top eight.
Essendon constantly tells the football…
