Candidate, a newly proposed member is called a candidate. It's nowhere near as much fun unfortunately.
But there is this bit...
Actually if I told you that then I'd have to kill you and I like you too much B4L.

Never change Dodo. Never change.
This is why I’m pretty sure Dunkley won’t get there unless we totally *!*!*!*! up.
Adrian Dodoro’s asking price for Orazio Fantasia

-Todd Marshall
-Zak Butters
He obviously read an 80s book on negotiation where it tells you to start with an outrageous opening position and then whittle it away until you get what you're happy with. This just ends up tying up resources and stalling other deals for the entirety of the trade week, and makes the whole thing completely painful.

I can't remember the last trade period that wasn't all about Essendon. But I do remember they haven't won a final since 2004.

Dodoro by any measure has been an abject failure.
Back when I was involved in unions we called them ambit claims. If you were looking for an industry pay rise then go with something ridiculous like 27% that the employer group was never going to agree with and allow yourself to be beaten down to something that was agreeable to both sides. Say 4-6%. Everyone wins, the union gets a good outcome for their members, the bosses got to look like they stood up for themselves.
Problem was that hubris began to set in and neither side wanted to look like it was backing down so the ambit claims became actual claims and nothing ever got done. Lots of activity, nothing achieved. I think I know which stage Dodorro (egged on by the likes of Sheedy) is stuck in.
