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....

I would have thought that the press would have been all over this, to distracted with Dees.??

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!

It made page 1 of The Age print edition. That's a high level of publicity for what should really be inside the back page. Best part of the story, though, is the statement by Essendon that Dodoro's departure was "amicable". As if. How many amicable departures end up at the Fair Work Commission?

No one has done more to destroy a club's list since the beginning of the draft. The guy should hand back his house and super. A complete and utter spud. Undoubtedly the worst recruiter in sports history. The fact he lasted this long is unbelievable. Essendon and he were a perfect match. We sit at the beginning of 2025 and Essendon probably have the 3rd worst list in the comp and possibly a bottom 4 age profile and a solitary one pick in the first round of a deep draft.  If they finish above 14th they'll be doing well.

How do we get him back in charge of the Bombers recruiting?

    TRAINING: Friday 6th December 2024

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th December 2024

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
