is reportedly in the mix for a move to St Kilda as the Bombers look to free up even more salary cap space.

The Herald Sun reports the Bombers and Saints could thrash out a deal that effectively sees Jade Gresham

SOS getting some old deals over the line lol

 

[ferrisb]

Oh my lord...I found this article from the Shiel trade back in 2018. How on earth did Dodoro keep his job after this?

Even funnier was all of his chest beating after the deal had been done

Shiel deal: How 2018's biggest trade got done

Nerves were frayed in the final minutes, Mitch Cleary reveals

www.afl.com.au

As much as we like to give Dodoro shit over the Shiel deal... it was always my understanding that it was Dodo who (rightly) refused to pay 2 x firsts and Richardson was the one who overruled him in desperation to get the deal done.

 

[RPCB]

Didn't he go to * to play in premierships?

Yeah, now he’s going to Saints to win premierships.

As much as we like to give Dodoro s**t over the Shiel deal... it was always my understanding that it was Dodo who (rightly) refused to pay 2 x firsts and Richardson was the one who overruled him in desperation to get the deal done.

He got Dodoro-ed

We all know hitting targets isn't one of his strengths...

 

[ferrisb]

It’s the Essington Festivas!

I'm guessing they never progress past the Airing of Grievances...

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Don't stress too much gents. He isn't leaving the club. He'll stay on to white ant his successor just as Sheeds tried to with Scott.

Even if he were to leave it's difficult to wash away the stench of decades of incompetence and mediocrity.

Should the ladies keep stressing then or...?

Haha!

gosh, you're being so emotional right now...........

And definitely not the feats of strength

 

[jj1978]

Makes you wonder what * is offering behind the scenes for all these players nominating them. I get Ben a bit because he’s familiar with Scott…. But others the only sense I can make is that playing for them brings bugger all expectations. Theyre so conditioned now to not playing in winning finals a decent 2/3 of the season is enough.

Ben McKay is no way worth what * is going to pay him even as a free agent.

Glad he went to them.

800k is what you pay someone that’s won a b&f, made all Australian squad and has played 90% games without constant injuries.

800k is an absurd amount of money for Ben McKay…. will be just as big an albatross as Shiel

* are reaching…again

* are reaching…again

They have to because they haven't drafted a star for decades. They keep trying to buy them. Nobody has the thought of let's go and watch Zach Merret this weekend.

7 days since a finals win versus 6900 is not enough anymore - I want more.

Exiting Dadoro is the turning point for Essendon. Mckay is exactly what we did with Jack Martin

and Zac Williams. They will be in our position in 3 or 4 years, and for all we know our window will have closed. You beat the enemy by improving your own game, not gloating in the perpetuity of their misery.

Can't we do both?

 

[The Sultan]

we'll be hitting double figures this week since out last finals win.. at least its not nearly 7000

Our next opportunity at redemption will be around 350. Theirs 7350.

dodoro hasnt left yet. Supposedly it is a succession plan, bit history shows they dont always go to script, especially when the one being succeeded isnt overly happy with being put out to pasture.
My gut feel is it is more a puff media piece. * know there is a stink around dodoro and are just trying to show that they are doing something. Ill hold off for 12 months to see what happens.

Mckay is a free agent yes, like Martin & Williams were. Is that what you are talking about because thats about where the similarities end. yes he is a big bodied defender, which is one of the many things they need. Though big questions over his durability and the "reported" money being thrown around seems farcical for someone who isnt a top tier defender.
