We still would have kept Tutt, under Bmac.
I thought he could have been a player if it wasn't for his inability to concentrate and first touch. Good luck to him.

Tutt actually chose to go and clearly read the tea leaves and knew he would have a better chance to get games with the blues.
He does have some good attributes with his outside run and his kicking. Unfortunately for a player of his size the concrete hands are severely limiting on his potential for game day impact.

Tutt is a converter as well. Is AFL standard, but would struggle on our list. I wish him well.

Speaking of exes Jason Akermanis is interviewing for a development coaching role at Essendon.
I always liked Aker. Thought that he gave us a couple of great seasons. Good luck to him at Essendon.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

This video package is how Carlton sold Jones to the faithful:

Jason Akermanis wants development coach job at Essendon
Outspoken former AFL player Jason Akermanis hopes to join Essendon as a development coach.
The 2001 Brownlow Medallist and three-time Brisbane premiership player will reportedly interview for the role next week.
During his playing career Akermanis' public comments frequently made him a lightning rod for controversy and he had messy departures from the Brisbane and the Western Bulldogs.
He has also commented on Essendon's supplements scandal.
For the last two seasons Akermanis has coached country side North Albury.
"That's a long time ago now – half a decade ago since I played," Akermanis said of his many controversies as a player.
"My opinions and the way I go about things as a coach are completely the opposite to when I played.
"I'm a completely different person doing a completely different role."

Re: Following our ex's...................
Something about the mix of Aka with Worsfold and MacKenna just makes me smile. Particularly given some of the comments Aka made about the Worsfold coached mid 00s WCE teams and their dramatic development (particularly relevant given Essendon's current situation). Please let it be so.

Essendon truly are the gift that keeps on giving
This will end well, just like every single employment stint Akermanis has had in his adult life. He's just been unofficially kicked out of Nth Albury footy club from what I hear.

Re: Following our ex's...................
Akermanis is just about the most insecure person in football, which is the worst characteristic to have in a coach, this won't end well.

Love this line from Judd
"But he bought into what Carlton were trying to do and I think he'd be pretty comfortable with his decision."
What exactly were Carlton trying to do??

He means it won't end well for Aker or Essendon. It'll be lovely for everyone else.
