Adrian Dodoro

[ferrisb]

This sums up the problem B4L. It is that they can't sack him....and even if they could somehow manage to, that they would then be obliged to find him another role.

Adrian is a glaring example of Essendon's deeper issues. Their setup. They are beholden. It creates malaise.

You know you have a real problem when a Carlton supporter accuses your club of poor governance and insularity.....

 

[citizen-erased]

If they have any sense they'd be going hammer and tongs at Wines. Instead it seems Martin is their primary target. Must be frustrating for the supporters.

We abandoned Martin last year the second Shiel became a possibility.
I think we know what our priorities are however when quality comes up, we will still pursue.

If Wines moves, we'd surely be going hard for him.
But if he doesn't not much you can do about that.

As much as i dislike the guy, he has done very well at the trade table the last 3 or so years.

No idea about drafting etc and who is in charge, but hats off to him for getting it done during trade week.

Afl.com linking us to Ryder, Ellis, possibly Martin and “nibbling” and langdon

 

[The Kipster]

Dodo has built a team of vanilla fronties, I hardly call that doing well at the trade table.

Awesome. An aging ruckman with questionable commitment to the club, and two more outside wingers.

Id much prefer Goldstein
And i wouldnt be opposed to letting a couple of good players go to facilitate a move for 2 decent inside mids

 

[matey]

Unbelievable that Dodo has still got his job in such a cut throat industry based on a club with a poor win/loss ratio over a long period of time. He must have some pretty good dirt!

From all reports Martin will pick Carlton so you can scratch that one off the list as for Ryder rather him than potato Zac Clarke and Langdon yeah/nah

To his credit, he did get us dev smith. Who is about the only two way running player we have.

That's when he's not injured!

Great work selling the farm for Shiel who not only seemingly still can't kick, but isn't much chop at the contest either.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Nothing is his fault.

Sheedy, Knights, Hird and next up Worsfold will be blamed.

Fair prediction from over 12 months back

I'm genuinely bummed he didn't end up at the cats. Would've stepped in to Caddys role like a well worn boot

Wow, I just realised you didn't tick a single draftee taken after 30.

You'd almost have to try to have that little success if you were picking purely at random surely.

Steinberg instead of Parker is a sin we are still paying for.

 

[skittlebrew]

Not to mention he got him almost for free.

2x 2nds + Smith for a 1st + 3rd

That deal worked out quite well in the end
Smith, 1/2 of Stringer and Saad for a 1st & 3rd

Got absolutely stooged by Ameet in the Carlisle trade, I know that much.

idk Francis looks like he's about to come on.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

To be fair though everyone makes them. My fellow cats fans won't shut up about trading for Stanley over drafting Grundy

 

[Red Bull]

idk Francis looks like he's about to come on.

Francis still unsigned mate ?
Would be disastrous to lose him and Daniher.

The list was only first and second round.

 

[HairyO]

The list was only first and second round.

Who are the 3rd and 4th round big wins ? Rookie wins? DFA wins ?

Tippa, bellchambers, hooker, fantasia would top the list
Dylan clarke looked alright this year as a big body stopper.
Ham and snelling look ok too. Very early days for both though
