Essendon

Re: Essendon

Cornes had a few words to say about the bombers the other day, none were good and he was right, they are old.
Hurley, Hooker, Bellchambers and a few others who hold them up.
They are in for a lot longer pain, need to build a young list, not go out having to pay overs to get players from other clubs who are just good footballers and not anything special.
The Dodoro years are exceptionally bad, who would have thought that with him being the greatest list manager ever!

Dodoro is so smart he's playing a different game than everyone. Everyone else thinks premiership points, finals, and finals wins culminating in premierships are the major goals, but he's a step of them because the real stuff starts two weeks after the AFL season when the national trade championships kick off.

He's a genius.

On that basis, Dodoro has more flags than Clarkson.

Correct. But the real genius is in the fact winning trade period is a subjective outcome....nobody can disagree with them being victorious after each one.

Especially with slobbo, whispy, bomber coons and the velvet nutcracker spewing out the propaganda.

Re: Essendon

Joe Daniher is expected to be brought straight back in to the senior side this weekend. He has not played a game of football since 18 May 2019. Surely this ends in tears? (I hope Joe gets through without injury, but this reeks of Essendon desperation)

Re: Essendon

You'd imagine they're fairly keen to demonstrate he can stay on the park so they're offered more than a bag of chips for him at season's end.

I'm enjoying the hopeful tip-toeing from their usual sympathetic hacks around the fact Joey's GORN but maybe if we're super duper nice he'll change his mind.

Spot on, this is the shop window and they're hoping the sticky tape holds long enough to make him attractive.
Fantasia has kicked 1 goal this season, granted he's only played 5 games so his trade value would be pretty low too and Port with their influx of kids like Farrell, Butters and Rozee aren't interested any more from reports.
Well done dodo.

I remember that keeping them was the true masterstroke of last season and refuse to readdress that conclusion

Even when Dodo's doing sweet FA he's still the smartest guy in the room and undefeated champion of trade week!

Re: Essendon

Isn't Daniher a free agent now?

Re: Essendon

I don't reckon Sydney would even want him anymore. Buddy, Reid and Daniher sounds like a pretty expensive injury list to me

Looks like Fantasia is going out the door again
Good luck crows
They’ll ask for something Fair like pick 1 I’d imagine

Is he out of contract? Because the crows can just take him in the pre-season draft for nothing.

New tweet or report?

He's burnt through 3 managers during his time in the AFL. In that case, he and the crows are a match made in heaven.
