Dodoro's version of Essendon is like the Victorian border...

"You can get in but can't get out"

I suspect Joe Daniher thinks it's Hotel California where you can check out any time you like but you can never leave.

 

It looks like the Lions offer to Daniher will get Ess an end of first round comp pick at best.  So Ess now make demands of Lions to improve offer to Daniher or they will match to force a trade. 

Its time someone stopped their stupid ambit claims that disrupt the whole trade period.  Would love to see Lions call their bluff and let them match and threaten to walk away.

God the herald sun love getting Hird's father involved. The bloke only played 4 games for the dons. Now he is trying to blame David Evans. Seriously your son stuffed up and trusted the wrong people. 

My issue is I don't care if what was taken was illegal or not it was morally disgraceful what they did to the players. 

 

Maybe he needs one of those 'I did nothing wrong' T-shirts which are currently in vogue in state politics?

Now look at them yo-yos, that's the way you do it
You play your footy on the MCG
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb

I think that doesn't help Daniher or hurt Essendon though. Lions are probably paying way under what essendon can afford, so if they put the offer in at whatever it is, and Essendon match.. To me that equals Essendon winning big time as they get Daniher for a long term deal for way less money. So although i agree with you that it would be good to let them match as a stuff you, in this case it won't work (it would be a gift).

If Jeremy cameron was a restricted free agent (hypothetically) on the other hand and say he wanted to go to geelong for 50-100k more than GWS was offereing and GWS said no we are matching. Then that is a situation where i can see it [censored] GWS up as they are meant to be super tight on salary space (although surely with williams gone this isn't so much the case, but worst comes to worse they pay cameron more than they wanted to and they may lose another player later :).

Chicks for free? Sure you didn't mean to post this in the Jesse Hogan thread? Although his "chick" cost him 8k.

From what I read the issue with the Brisb offer it is for 3 years with a low base (and a lot of add-ons which is not unreasonable because no-one knows how many games he will play).  But the AFL FA comp formula of secret herbs and spices doesn't consider the add-ons. 

I would think the AFL and the PA would step in and arbitrate before Daniher is forced to stay at Ess. 

Lions calling Ess bluff to walk away would be to force them to be reasonable and not make ridiculous ambit demands of destination clubs and waste everyone's time.

Essendon start negotiations by asking for Curnow.

Carlton agree but ask for some loose change late draft picks, as they really value having a mature body in the midfield...

 

I mean, really, Saad for Walsh, Curnow or McKay is like... well, it's like trying to trade a very handy mature player for a young potential superstar.

They can have Curnow, He can replace Daniher on their injury list.

Brilliant.

What is the point of contracting players long term to a club they don't want to be at? Recipe for disaster, I'd reckon.

Yesterday, the last 3 teams left in the comp were all members of the cat family. Essendon, currently undergoing a crisis of culture, have decided to return to their true culture plus embrace that winning feline feeling, as the Essendon Cheetahs. Make Great Drugs Again.

I like the way the Bombers implode so aggressively.

Meanwhile we just slowly smolder along

He is teflon. Rutten goes before him. Dodoro is an 'Essendon person'. Expecting Hird to be in some role soon. 

Dodoro is doing a great job. Leave him exactly where he is. ?

I hear Mitch McGovern might be part of the Saad deal...not quite Curnow, Walsh or Mackay but he's probably ok for them.

Saad is a decent player but surely only Essendon are delusional enough to think he is worth any of Curnow, McKay or Walsh. Saad + a very handy pick might bring Carlton to the table.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
