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. 

Bends them over one last time on the way out 😂 

"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!

Couldn't keep his head off camera could he.

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?
