Delisted Adrian Dodoro - On leave Aug ‘24. Parted ways Nov ‘24. Lodged a dispute with FairWork. Paid out. Gone. #putoutyourjackets

[joey_jo_jo]

In my view, we should have ripped the band aid off back in 2007. By that time, he'd had a decade in the role and we were on a very clear downward trajectory after being a powerhouse.

This is just my own assumption but I reckon Sheedy held the reigns till he got the flick in 2007, would any of us even known who dodoro was back then?

In the same article he talks about recruiting he was doing in 1999. **** him.

 

[Rick Ross]

I don’t have access to Age articles but this looks like new information -hadn’t heard there was a dispute involving fair work.

Suffice to say, he ain’t coming back / influencing any decisions any time soon.

 

[P Money]

Will be very telling if (when) no other other club comes knocking on the door for the services of the most experienced list manager in the game

Does Adrian Dodoro thinking he was unfairly dismissed from his role fit in this thread? The very definition of irony.

Couldn’t find Dudoro thread so it’s right Togo here. He must be classed as an employee and not contracted, that’s the only reason he’d be paid out. What a joke of a process this has been to get rid of him. Hope he never darkens our doorstep again.

An utter campaigner. Utter Utter campaigner. campaigner has exhausted me. Absolute campaigner.

What do you think about him, though?

 

[yodellinhank]

You at least have to admit, he recruited/list managed most of the players on our list.

I actually have a clear memory of this because it was the time I first joined bigfooty. I can confidently say it was already a significant issue on this board in 2007.

In fact, one of the first threads I remember reading was titled "Adrian Duddoro" or something like that, which was posted shortly after our horrible season that year. I've since tried to find that thread but have not been able to.

People were rightly asking questions, but were ultimately convinced or shouted down by others who claimed that everything was Sheedy's fault and that Dodo had had little influence despite being in the role for a decade.

It's probably this thread, given this one also goes back to 2007

The forum tends to take the most passionate and interested fans, the masses are less attentive to the details and tend not to think deeply about 20 years worth of list management in a single sitting, so they take longer to catch on. Not sure what excuse board members have aside from being irl busy.

Fair, I only came on board last couple of years and just assumed dodoro had become a thing in the 2010s!
Still reckon Sheeds would have thrown his weight around more than your average coach but we probably should have cleared out all of sheeds mates when he left and had a clean break.

I think you might be right actually! That explains why I couldn't find it if the title was changed.

For some reason, I thought this thread was started more recently and by a different poster to the OP. Did this merge with another one recently or perhaps there is more than 1 dodo thread?

Woah I'd never even looked at the created date for this thread. 17 years worth of posts to catch up on

They should've drafted Rioli.

He did draft Dean Rioli (yes that's right i actually did have a quick trawl through the first few pages)

Dean Rioli was the first ever dodo pick iirc, just after he took over from judkins. Probably one of the few decent ones in his first decade.

Still my number 1 "what could have been" players, such silky skills.

 

[Corleone]

Just wait until him and Sheedy try to spill the board when we finish bottom four next year.

He didn't deserve a life membership to begin with, it should be stripped now.

yeah, a few threads merged into it at different times. same deal with some of the other threads about specific people who had multiple threads about them over the years

Well, he was right, there certainly were some troughs.

 

[Atavistic]

"We will pick the best player available. We could do with a great ruckman, a great midfielder and a great forward but every club can," Dodoro said.

"People say we need midfielders but they tend to forget that last year we drafted a lot of midfielders like Jetta, Davey, Reimers and Houli."

Holy hell, I didn't realise the first post in this thread was such comedy gold.
