Oh dear poor Matt having to spend time with that w***er.
I would have thought that would have been a red flag 🚩 for most people to exit the conversation.
Nah work from the inside. Tell Dodoro he is doing a good job. List all of the available trade targets and tell him to go for all of them.
 
I’m gonna defend him. How often does a coach get sacked after finishing top 4? What do you think a new coach will do better?

List build takes time and it’s clear they know their deficiencies, hence why they are chasing these various players.

They won 17 games. No one would have given them that many at start of year. Hardly this makes the list “no good” as you would say it.
He's been there 11 years without a premiership.

How long do you want to give him?

Hinkley has had them playing finals regularly, but not winning them. After a certain number of years (some might suggest before they reach double figures) of trying and failing it's a case of what have they got to lose by giving someone else a shot.

Hinkley is the guy who keeps losing at the arcade but won't stand aside and let someone else have a chance to play the machine. Kochie is the parent who keeps giving him change to play with.

Here's the thing though he doesnt really have them playing them regularly. Missed last year. Missed the 2 years before '20-'21. missed the 2 years before we knocked them out in '17.
So after the initial success of '13-'14 he's played finals 4 out of 9 years after that.
Him and Bevo are similar in the yo-yo'ing except Bevo has 2 GF's and a premiership to show for it.

I bet you he keeps choosing Dhalsim coz he thinks he dynamic and unpredictable.

Nooooo I wanted him there forever. perhaps they can get Sheedy back...or Hird...don't let it go Essendon. Hold onto that old VFL mentality when you could just buy things and people should just listen to you because you were Essendon damn it.

Like Carlton starting to win games of footy I'm not comfortable with any growth from this team.
 
I have thrown myself into educating my kids to review with a healthy dose of skepticism what they read.

But without any consideration, I have to 100% agree wholeheartedly with this journalistic effort:

If the opposition can't see you coming, you've gone to the wrong stadium. Just a thought...

Can't wait to hear Dodoro's insanest takes on Trade Radio in 12 months.

Nicky Dal: "So what your deal of the day today, Dodsie?"

Dodoro: "Today's deal of the day is Jake Stringer and Essendons 3rd round pick for Harley Reid. Eagles would be crazy not to take it. I'd also add in a little spice by saying if they don't take it Essendon should just walk him to the draft!"

Nicky Dal: "But Dods, Reid is still contracted!"

Dodoro: "In that case, change that 3rd round to Essendon's 4th round pick."

Nicky Dal: "You heard it here first folks, Reid wants out and his chosen club is Essendon and he's barely worth a 4th rounder!"
