Love this:

“It’s also appropriate that I thank Adrian Dodoro for his efforts over the past two decades and wish him well. He has given long service and will always be an important part of the club’s history.”

 

....exactly the same time since Essendon won a final....

Essendon (and Collingwood) are protected by the media.

"We now have a detailed list management strategy to guide us, so our decision-making is strategic and well-planned"

I believe the settlement itself was on the basis of disability discrimination. Essendon were claiming that Dodoro had 'half-****ed' his job, but Dodoro insisted that that really was all the **** he had to begin with and he had given the club 100% of it.

"Essendon had offered Dodoro a six-figure payout but that Dodoro was asking for a substantially higher amount"

Lol - no doubt he's seeking a reward commensurate with his startling achievements.

I’m surprised that there’s been so little publicity in the media concerning Dodoro’s departure given how close the Herald Sun’s chief football writer Mark Robinson is to the club. I guess the Bombers have been more concerned with their abysmal finals record, keeping gangland figures out of their change rooms on match days and former players connected with overseas prostitution to worry about courtroom stoushes with long term employees who added so little to their playing list for so long. Of course, all this avoids the necessity of real news coverage or weekly agenda driven op eds repeating the same tired, unproven allegations ad nauseam.

...and Dodoro claims the Bombers have the best culture he's seen in 40 years!

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
