Ewā¦no thanks.
29 next year ā¦ but maybe the Scott connection?
Didnt you want us to hit the draft, now your critiquing him for not making high end trades?
Especially last year where there were barely any trades done anywhere

At the very least, I want more picks.
He has done nothing. And he did nothing last year too.
Iām glad we had spots for Massimo, Menzies, Martin.
The club would be in constant dialog with Daveyās manager if heās had interest from other clubs to understand where a bid might come from.
And this draftā¦.I just dunno if itās a great one to trade into.

Heās spoken about improving our draft hand for 2 years and we havenāt got close to improving it, even at last yearās draft we missed players we wanted in the 40s cause we couldnāt āimprove our draft handā

Just someone tough, who runs both ways every game.
Is an older head and knows how Scott works and what sort of system he runs.
Someone for the young indigenous boys to get around and help walk them through the first few years in the system.
We have lost that in Tippa, Cal stated Munkara spent time living with Tippa when he came and spent some time with the club.
We havent got anyone on the list for young guys coming through the system to lean on like that with our current list.

and yet carlton in a similar position last year brought in 3 pretty decent players, after bringing in high priced recruits the year before.
you could argue, once they got rid of Dodo lite (SOS) their ability to bring in decent players improved. funny that.
hard to shiel with is an all time trade thread name tho

the only way to get a better trade hand now is to sell the future (draft picks)
or trade out players.
if we traded out francis and did nothing else you could argue Dodoro improved our draft hand.
but if we bring in setterfield it helps us now.
last year we had to keep picks for father sons and glad we kept first rounder given itās a early selection.
next year is a highly rated draft so makes sense to keep early picks.
yes there are clubs that are always looking to trade into the future (suns) mostly due to afl concessions they received. but imagine we trade out of next year then canāt trade back into it and miss a super draft.

Saucy-I agree that he doesnāt understand the system and how to it use properly to help Essendon. Over 20 years (think about that) and no success during that time. Why are the Panthers in the NRL great? Itās because of the great players they have. They lose Burton and still win the title. Dodoroās job is to get us the best players. Has he done that?

I juts donāt think he knows what heās doing.
Things just always seem to move around him.
Itās over for him in December, I think.

I like the Setterfield move, low risk high reward if he works harder and we give him opportunities in his best possie.
Hopefully he becomes a gun and ā ā ā ā ā Carlscum in the process.
Seems Stocker wonāt be getting another crack?
