“He knows where the bodies are buried,” one ex-club employee said. “Everyone in the industry plays the game, but he plays it as well as anyone. If playing the game in this industry is an art, then he is van Gogh.”

I know there are people that are upset that Dodoro won’t be the list manager at * anymore but I am a glass half full kind of person. Maybe * won’t win a final for a long time if they have a list manager that doesn’t win everyone trade like Dodoro. Am I right?
Obviously an art historian.
I reckon there’s a touch of Doug and Dinsdale about Kevin and Adrian.There is some absolute ******* gold in that article. Do yourselves a favour
I had to google that

Sounds like he’s been running the whole joint, how bizarrely dysfunctional
Some of the stuff I heard today even blew my mind

Stephen Quartermaine just told Jennifer Keyte great news for her Bombers, Todd Goldstein is joining. Bloody hell, he’s 35 years old.

As in ?
Goldy, McKay, Gresham, Dursma, its all part of the wonder Twin's plan to lead the resurgence of the mighty Bombers. Their plan is titled "The Road to 8,000".
Can someone please enlighten me on why Essendon signed a 35 year old ruckman? It's not like he is their missing link to their next premiership. Dodo is working his magic like no-one else can.

I was bemused initially as well.
But it all boils down to Goldstein wanting to coach, his old Coach Brad Scott has said come over here for a year and I'll set you up for a coaching career.
It has very little to do with the medium or long term benefit of the Essendon Football Club. Just people using a club to serve their own interests. Good for non-Essendon teams because this is exactly the sort of stuff we did back in the early 2000s, and we know how that worked out.

weird interview with dodo
This account is 20 years old. I was a young one then and really into chemistry. Doesn't look great in retrospect. I'll look into changing name
Club seems concerned and worried about marketing and support and is pushing for 2024 to at least get a finals performance and a finals win to get the 7000+ off their back. No long term view here with the list, instant gratification is the MO at present.
A die-hard Bombers associate is worried about Draper’s injury; thinks it might linger into 2024.
Sensible. Nobody has a die-hard Bombers friend.
