Dodoro, who’s been part of Essendon’s list management set-up for the past 22 years,
The Bombers haven't won a final in 16 years. Let's hope he stays at Essendon for another 22 years  ;D.

Quote
oversaw the Bombers select key-position prospect Scott Gumbleton at Pick 2 in the 2006 draft then David Myers at Pick 6 the next year.

Those decisions meant Essendon missed out on triple premiership Cat and six-time All-Australian Selwood (Pick 7, 2006) then four-time premiership Hawk and Norm Smith Medallist Rioli (Pick 11, 2007).

Add overlooking Jack or Sheds in 2006 and Rance in 2007. Then losing Houli for nothing by trying to be greedy at the trade table in 2010. Dodo - the gift that keeps on giving ;D.

Top 4 after Round 6 to just one win from their last 10 games. Thank you Bombers once again for the comic relief :lol.

Makes sense Chucky. Looks like the Dons are going to copy Norf anyway with a list-purge and spend another decade in the wilderness :thumbsup.


Damian Barrett is reporting that Cale Hooker is “not at all happy” at the Bombers while Michael Hurley could also weigh up his future.

“Those three players (Daniher, Fantasia and Saad) that Lloydy just mentioned, I don’t see being Bombers in 2021,” Barrett told Channel Nine’s Sunday Footy Show.

Essendon are good at turning potential guns into plodders...I especially like how they transformed Stringer - a bloke who was on par with De Goey and who some had even compared to Ablett Sr - into a poor man's Josh Caddy.... :shh

If you approach it from the Tigers of say 20-30 years ago

I'd say it's been a ripping success  ;D

The most hilarious thing is dopey Dodoro wasn't first sacked and is still there. Enjoy another decade in the wilderness of mediocrity, bombers ;D.

Balmey has said he is staying at Tigerland. At his age, he isn't looking for that full on godfather role which is one of the reasons he turned down Adelaide's approach.
