As in Dodoro can't create a username and vote for himself. Which could happen with trade week winner being on the line.

Thead is so non-Dodo that Essendon aren't even in the tier list.

Is it just fairer to leave them out so we can have an actual competition?

It's the greatest non-Dodoro thread ever written.

Maybe Melbourne.

I hoped this thread might have a big more activity. With under 72 hours, here's hoping something happens, anything. I start taking trade nominations for a playlist of 80's hair bands.

Anyone trade Cheap Trick for White Snake, Bad English & a future pick of David Lee Roth, as a stand alone act, post mid 80's Van Halen?

Winners??


Carlton fans will be crying into pillows tonight. Offered Martin & 15 for 9, and said no... Should've picked us Jack.

St Kilda brought 5 in, lost three on their best 22 though. And paid about $2.5M to the new faces.

[The Doctor]

Dodo

1. Made the Kelly deal happen even when it had nothing to do with him
2. Got Fantasia when he looked gone for all money and gave up nothing for him
3. Daniher ditto
4. The big one. Got Phillips
5. Another big one. Got Cutler another outside midfielder to add to their stockpile. Heaven help the rest of us if they get the ball outside of the inside.

[GVGjr]

Geelong typically got some bargains, they always do and of course got full value for Kelly
Their window is open again for 2020

Saints were excellent, got their targets, were fair with Steven and got a bit more than expected for Bruce.
We can't really fault their effort, They've added plenty of run

Excrutating

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Seriously, Sam P won by a nose. Didn't muck around the edges, didn't get old used broken guys and targeted perfectly for needs. We don't need to target "Big names" we have the Bont already.

I felt fantastic we got the book ends and kept pick 13 after that it didn't really matter, I back him in to land talent at 13 and we are away for 2020. All the fuss, rumours and innuendo account for very little in September and we haven't kept disgruntle people at the club over our own pride.

Rant over! bring on the preseason training photos of our boys bulked up and ripped ready to go

Had a good laugh at that

No shitting you, this is one of the big winners from the trade period from Fox:

Adrian Dodoro, Essendon list manager

From the moment Joe Daniher asserted his desire to move to the Sydney Swans, Dodoro was emphatic the key forward would remain at Tullamarine. It seemed to be classic Dodoro posturing. Only last year the Dylan Shiel trade was orchestrated at the death. This time, however, Dodoro didn’t just have his polka face on. He meant business. Daniher will see out his contract and have the opportunity to “fall back in love” with Essendon — a Dodoro sentiment from the start. Add in Orazio Fantasia staying put and Dodoro has every right to pump his chest out.



He literally did nothing and he’s a winner, mentioned before Sam Power who did a lot.....

[hujsh]

Interesting little plot that one. Dodo saying the best offer presented was 9 and a future first but Gardiner at the Swans saying they were 'advised' 5 and 9 wouldn't get it done so they never bothered presenting it. Essentially confirming the Dons wanted a player who could replace Daniher (at which point why bother trading).

It's hard to say you did well to keep Daniher unless you've convinced him not to go. They did that with Fantasia but not Daniher so may regret not taking 5 and 9

[Dry Rot]

IMO Swans need an honourable mention.

Expressed an interest in Daniher but didn't fold into a Dodoro madness trade.

And didn't get what they wanted for an under contract Papley, so they kept him.

They did that with Fantasia but not Daniher so may regret not taking 5 and 9 Reading twitter both sets of fans are adamant the other side is wrong. Need someone to clarify this 5 and 9 situation. If it turns out Essendon are being loose with the truth possibly to try and make JD think Sydney botched it then it could actually backfire.

I’m inclined to believe Sydney.

[Murphy'sLore]

Please tell me Fox didn't actually say 'polka face', what's next, foxtrot hands?

Really? West coast sold the farm.

they got the best player. Eagles looking really formidable.

And they rated us the same as Essendon.

Also funny to see the rating of Essendon vs Sydney.

Sydney retained Papley and get ranked the 3rd worst. Essendon retain Daniher and get 4th best.

[Bulldog Joe]

Disappointing, not to see a high ranking for defacto Geelong recruiting manager Patrick Dangerfield.

He took a lot of credit for bringing in Josh Jenkins after apparently (according to Patrick) being a principal instigator of Luke Dahlhaus last year.

Fox and the Hun are unsurprisingly sycophantic towards Essendon FC. The link is Mark Robinson. The bloke’s more supporter than journalist when it comes to them.

The timing of the (show bag) story about Essendon’s supplements scandal was suspiciously timed by the Hun to drop right on trade deadline day. A day in which Essendon FC was in dire need of a pick-me-up. I know the article was written by Michael Warner, but Robinson is the paper’s senior football writer and, as such, oversees the content and timing of all AFL stories.

He’s just a lightweight fanboy. The meaningless Essendon trade grading is a joke.

It's nauseating. Two of your leadership group wanting out, and a mad dash to keep them (tenuous retention at best) via a captain begging and some hard bargaining and you've somehow done well.
Cutler and Phillips in - thats a D+ when they need inside mids.

[Rocket Science]

I also can't fathom the pats on the back the Bombres are enjoying.

It's not as if coercing players not to flee a toxic workplace is a strange new experience for them.

[Sedat]

They didn't become mediocre for 16 years by accident. It is all the head-scratching accolades they continue to get every year from the meedya sycophants that have them thinking they are always "on the cusp" of a flag. Bless them.

Dodoro MUST be a fertile source of inside stories for Robinson & co. They come out of the trade period with two also-ran ins, their two best forwards clearly running down their contracts and no first round pick in the draft. They’ve had an absolute nightmare!

Yet that’s a B+ mark in the Hun...???!!! For some reason Dodoro’s a protected species....

As someone who can’t stand Essendon, long may that continue!

The weird thing was there is a genuine potential no 1 ruck who changed clubs, Pittonet, who went to Carlton to replace Phillips.

Warner hates the afl , and doesn’t miss a chance for a pot at them . I’m not their greatest fan, but Warner takes it to another level
Of course Dodoro won trade week, why is this even a question ?
