The difference is essendon’s recruiting goes from absolutely pathetic to acceptable/decent, whereas other teams go from good to great.

Is that our recruiting or player development? We haven't really taken anyone who was thought of as a bit of a reach at the time.

He'll be President of the club then, and just before the 2034 trading period starts (our 30 year anniversary just come and gone) he'll do a Slobbo propaganda piece about how we are about to launch up the ladder from our lackluster 11th place finish as he's going to directly oversee the trade and draft period.

If there have been no risky selections, then why not just go with the phantom draft and save ourselves a salary of several hundred k per year?

Also, why does it have to be either/or? Clearly it is both. The difference is though that recruitment at our club have historically been a protected species whereas our development has been turned over several times to no avail.

It also doesn’t explain why the development coaches who were successful elsewhere suddenly failed to work their magic upon arrival at essendon.

Were the long term contracts for McGrath and Parish just an attempt to shore up some ‘face’ for Dodo? Now at least two of our zillions of first round picks for the last decade have a chance to pull on the sash for 150+ games

I think it may have been player managers playing Dodoro a bit along the lines that 5 years plus is what everyone is offering.

It was his job to know what's happening across the league in terms of short, standard and long contracts and the type of player that commands what sort of contract.

That sounds pretty amateur, therefore in the case of Dodoro it's thoroughly believable that he'd get played by the player managers, they'd just need to let Dodoro think he's the smartest guy in the room during the negotiation.

No chance's he's coming back, Been pushed out the door very methodically by Craig, him and Sheeds are being left in the dust and the club is moving on instead of looking in the rear view mirror

Well it has been the norm recently. Plenty of 5 or 6 or 7 year deals being handed out.
But it is the reason he has been pushed out before this years negotiations.

Mostly for players that are in demand elsewhere. It was earlier in this thread or perhaps the non-Essendon thread where someone listed a heap of the longer term contracts and really the only one that didn't make much sense to me was Brennan Cox.

I can't recall any interest in Parish and McGrath to justify locking them in for such terms. All I was eluding to was it making sense that Dodoro had possibly been duped by player managers in those cases.

Speaking of fish skeletons on rubbish bin lids... how much is dylan shiel contracted for next year by the great man?

Is it an even million or more like 1.2million?

We'll eat that fish skeleton right off the bin lid and pay his whole contract if you want to send him across with a first rounder?

I desperately hope you’re right, but I’ll believe when it happens (though not even then probably).
I suspect you need garlic, a crucifix and silver bullets to stick the landing. Then, maybe…

Apparently, dodo would hand out generous contracts as a way to curry favour with players, growing his power base. Can’t recall where I heard it though.

I think it's pretty clear by the way the club have handled it. Some people (like myself) just want the messy outcome with a head on a pike . I've seen comments from people saying that this is how you remove rusted on employees with deep ties
