You're joking aren't you?
The reason Essendon are hard to deal with isn't the end result, because Dodo ends up caving. It is the fact that each time it takes ******* ages to sort out a deal and some of the offers he puts on the table are absolutely ridiculous. Look at the Crameri deal again. Idiot was asking for our first rounder. Wouldnt budge till the end of trade week. Held us up in other deals which would have gone through if he wasnt acting like a petulant used car salesman.
Ultimately it is the hold up (and the unpleasant flow on from this) that is the issue. He is deliberately difficult to deal with in the hope of extracting a 'win' out of the other club. That whole adversarial perspective pisses people off as people arent stupid. They arent going to stand for being dudded when they arent under the barrel, yet the tossbag tries it on every single time and delays the deal almost pathologically. Like he is dealing with Fremantle circa late 1990s...
