Dodoro may still be the biggest fraud, but SOS has certainly stepped up to make it a contest now. 
Adrian Dodoro: Football’s Biggest Fraud IMO

Keeping Joey will be a disaster for Essendon. Surely the end of Dodoro now?

How did it age well?
Did you win a final did you?
Is it time to crown Essendon as the back to back to back trade period premiers?
Would be the most Essendon thing ever. You got no midfielders something you desperately need, but you’ll all jerk off because Dodoro held onto a player who doesn’t want to be there.

Why would keeping him be a disaster? You’re assuming they will lose him for less, which the may, but they might also keep him longer term now.
Tbh I don’t agree. Apparently never even offered pick 5 and now they have a year to change his mind.

I'm critical, but losing Joey for unders would have been the death knell. Getting an overs trade was the best outcome, retaining him was the second best. Losing him for pick 9 (IMO outside of top 5 may as well be in the 20's in this draft) and a speculative pick in a compromised draft would have been a terrible outcome.

cos BF logic.
Only in here would keeping your best player not turn out well
Despite Geelong doing that last year with Kelly, who nearly won a brownlow, had a ripper season and went for much, much more.
Added some depth
Didn't lose key players
Be interesting to see if he dips his toes in the live trading waters.

He doesn't want to be there, reportedly gutted it didn't get done, is injured all the time, still can't run, and will walk for free next year. Essendon were offered the biggest free hit possible (if 2 x first rounders is correct), and they blew it because they're too proud and too stubborn. Great for the rest of the league, but as a (non highly egotistical) Dons supporter, I'd be filthy.

Were they actually offered Sydney’s 2 first, or is that what ‘experts’ were saying would get it done? Listen, if they lose him next year as an RFA, even with compensation you could argue that’s a loss. But they haven’t yet, and they may not. This all assumes Sydney we’re willing to part with 2 1sts, which would also assume that they reckon he is a good chance to play.
9 & a future was the report.
The future being in a draft ridiculously compromised by aligned kids (also quite convenient since i think the swans have 2)
5 never on the table.
We may have asked for 9 and a player (Heeney, etc)
About all you can go on at the moment.
Kelly is about the only example of where a player staying that wants out actually worked out well for both the player and the club in the end, if a player doesn't want to be there just get rid, wait and negotiate the best deal possible and piss the guy off, more likely than not to have a negative affect with him hanging around for a year now, that and he can barely get on the park anyway, ridiculous that essendon held onto him imo

Was absolutely a mistake, Joey is physically ruined and is not going to be worth two first round picks a year from now. Might as well cash out on a player that can't get out there

Fair enough. If he goes as an RFA even with good compo you’d say that’s a loss, however, he hasn’t gone yet, which I suppose is the point. Next years draft picks don’t seem to be worth the paper they’re printed on unless you’re banking them for points.
yep
every chance he may still stay
Plus we get 2020 out of him....with a new fitness/conditioning team
And we can still match and force a trade the year after
We've really lost nothing this year given 5 was never on the table

Can you link me to the report saying he's gutted please?
Dodoro is Hird level of fraud
Why is it always Essendon?
Why is it always Essendon?
I’m really questioning if it is fair to steal players that teams are interested in, like the past 3 years every player carlton are interested in Essendon signs them up. The list starts with Adam saad,Devon Smith, Dylan Shiel,Tom cutler and basically Tom Papley. If Chelsea gets a transfer ban why can’t Essendon because dodoro doesn’t know what a team that made the top 8 should go after instead of going after what a bottom four team goes after. I hope he gets sacked tomorrow fingers crossed. Also when a player request a trade, you trade them because you will be paying a player who can if he wants not play a game with them and make a holdout until they get traded.
