Pt2: Adrian Dodoro: Football’s Biggest Fraud IMO

[HairyO]

So he moves into the shadows and undermines the new guy then swoops back in to save the club in 2 years.

Love it.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Wait we didn’t want this!

Delete the thread! Come back Dodo!

 

[Algorithmic Hot Takes]

So, we won't win trade week from 2024 on?

[Existential shivering!]

 

[citizen-erased]

Yeah that's because we've actually won a couple of finals..
How bout you guys ??

I remember north winning finals and making 2 prelims
Where did that get them?

Win them when you're ready to go all the way.

 

[dmc333]

He's like a made man at Essendon, no one can whack the guy.

 

[Xtreme]

Essendon will finish top 6 and win a final next year

* me what a sad day.

Hawthorn legend.

 

[citizen-erased]

No, he doesn't.

Dodoro will step away from the Bombers after more than 30 years’ service, saying he had approached chief executive Craig Vozzo at the start of the season about moving on from his role.

Dodoro said he remained focused on one final off-season period with the Bombers before he stepped away.

 

[dmc333]

LOL

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

first time I’ve seen what Dodoro looks like…has he and Aaron Peveril ever been seen in the same room together?

 

[BF Tiger]

Someone in the Ron Barassi thread made a great point, it’s not often you have someone who is a legend at four different clubs.

To be a legend at 17 clubs will never be beaten.

Perfect!

 

[longdonkey]

Pray for port

Last club to try pry a player off dodoro.
You're gonna get so boned

oh no

 

[BF Tiger]

Should be front and centre come 7000 Days*

Damien?

 

[citizen-erased]

LOL

Laugh all you like, we need some bloody flankers so we can stop playing heppell!!

 

[10571z]

Essendon genuinely have to be the worst run club… let’s allow this long term list manager to be still involved…

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Innovative thinking by the Bombers who are always at the forefront of progressive performance enhancement.. We have had coaching transitions now after 25 years we get list manager transition.. the incoming list manager can learn from the best before fully taking the reigns..

You ask that like its a question.

No, we are! Oh, wait...

Often chastised for the lack of success through his 25+ year reign at the club, Dodoro is flying under the radar as the single most outstanding trader of not only his generation, but of the entire history of the league.

Given Essendon have not won a final since 2004, below is Dodoro's complete trading history since that final:

Every single player traded out has gone on to play finals (except Solomon and Colyer). Four have played in a Grand Final and an astonishing 6/16 (37%) have gone on to be All Australian at their new club. That must be some kind of record.

All the while, since 2004, no player at Essendon has won a final. A diabolical contrast to the calibre of players shipped out of the club.

Year	Player	Finals	Grand Final	All Australian
2005	Ted Richards	Yes	Yes	Yes
2006	Dean Solomon
2010	Bachar Houli	Yes	Yes	Yes
2011	Josh Jenkins	Yes	Yes	Yes
2012	Angus Monfries	Yes
2013	Stewart Crameri	Yes
2014	Paddy Ryder	Yes		Yes
2015	Jake Melksham	Yes
2015	Jake Carlisle	Yes
2015	Jonathan Giles	Yes
2016	Michael Hibberd	Yes	Yes	Yes
2018	Travis Colyer
2020	Orazio Fantasia	Yes
2020	Adam Saad	Yes		Yes
2020	Joe Daniher	Yes
2022	Aaron Francis	Yes*

The impact this post has had shall not be understated

Always thought Dodo looks like the love child of Roger Federer and Pev (Damien).

Sorry for the visual

 

[Happy Mastenator]

My guess is its standard transition

Do the handover, go to lunches, be there if Rosa/RFK need anything, but it's not likely.
Would have been gardening leave if there was an inkling he was heading elsewhere.

Rosa calls up the Dodo.

“Hey mate we seem to be down $1m in the salary cap. What’s going on there?”

The Dodo.

“We’ll that’s the $1m a year I gave McKay for 7 years”

Rosa

“Wait the defender who’s pretty s**t and misses as many games as he plays?”

The Dodo

“Well did I tell you when I won the Dylan Shiel trade?”

 

[windyhill]

Not quite sure what Essendon supporters are celebrating. He’s still ******* there, hovering, with sheedy. Deckchairs and Titanic spring to mind.

Feels like the ending of The Truman Show
