Should have been the other way around.

    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?

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
