So that’s what Kangaroo infected with Rabies looks like

This is gold too. Another good laugh

At any time in the years to come, if you're ever feeling down about how our great club is faring, always take solace in the fact we didn't give a six figure payment to a list manager who for twenty years presided over ... not much.

All hail Dodoro the Great. The man is a maestro.

​

Essendon have reached a settlement with their long-term list manager Adrian Dodoro after he lodged proceedings with the Fair Work Commission.
A hearing took place at Fair Work’s CBD offices at Exhibition Street, where Dodoro and his lawyers had lodged an s.365 application, which specifically relates to general protections dismissal, including discrimination, workplace rights and absence due to illness or injury.
Two sources close to the situation, who wished to remain anonymous due to the confidential nature of the proceedings, said that Essendon had offered Dodoro a six-figure payout but that Dodoro was asking for a substantially higher amount.

A statement on behalf of both parties was provided to this masthead, confirming that a settlement had been reached on Wednesday afternoon.

“After 27 years Essendon Football Club and Adrian Dodoro have amicably parted ways,” the statement said.
Documents had been lodged with the Fair Work Commission and a hearing took place at 9am on Wednesday.
In August, club chief executive Craig Vozzo confirmed to The Age that Dodoro had stepped away from the club.
President David Barham made a small reference to Dodoro when talking about the club’s list management vision at Essendon’s Crichton Medal count in October.


“We have injected more money and resources into list management and recruiting team, and we will continue to support this critical area which is now led by Matt Rosa,” Barham said.
“We now have a detailed list management strategy to guide us, so our decision-making is strategic and well-planned, giving us the best opportunity to grow towards the sustained success that we desire.
“It’s also appropriate that I thank Adrian Dodoro for his efforts over the past two decades and wish him well. He has given long service and will always be an important part of the club’s history.”

An organisation that is built on bullshit. You haven't "amicably parted ways" if he's just taken you to court to get a settlement.

And I reckon * should have lodged a counterclaim against Dodo for 20 years of wage theft.

Gold Coast has unveiled its new logo.

The new design features three key elements - the sun of the Gold Coast rising over the ocean, a bold ‘S’ representing the SUNS, and a football at the logo’s heart.

The logo also includes subtle shapes of a ‘G’ and ‘C’ hidden within the design, nodding to the club’s history and original logo.

I like the logo, but it's a stretch describing that circle as a football, that the S is 'bold' and that there's a subtle G & C in it (only if you completely ignore lines).

certainly true about the G and the C, but I see the S. The designer was a big SuperSonics fan apparently.

I'm not saying the S isn't there. It is there.

I wouldn't call it 'bold' though. If anything, it's the definition of soft.

More than a passing similarity oof.

I wonder how much cash the consultants who designed the new logo got. I also couldn't help but cringe at the w***ery describing their new logo tbh.

They literally ran the delete brush over one line, turned the brightness up and accidentally resized vertically.

Not far off a cease and desist (if they still existed)

Was thinking how everyone is going down the 70’s-early 80’s basketball vibes. Quite cool. Don’t mind some of the new logos coming out.
