This is what a CEO does, many of the post saga problems can be laid squarely at the feet of the previous CEO.
Donāt overlook all the purposeful innovations.

This is 100% a corporate managed exit.
Dodoro would have seen the writing on the wall, everybody knows he is a powerful political influence, and Dodoro does have a passion for the EFC which both he and the club will be happy to exploit for mutual financial benefit.
Vozzo will be very keen on allowing his guy to have freedom to be the list manager. Rosa will be taking over from day one and whilst have Dodoros number, I bet will never call it. He will take advice from Vozzo.

He gone yet?
Yes thanks Bacchus, it serves me right for posting in the wee hours, with my brain not keeping up with Barhamās changesā¦
Farewell. A modern day Noel Judkins. Clubs will be lining up for his services.

Which word, āIncrediblyā ?
We are at the bottom of a 20 year table. Anyone is an improvement. Be thankful they came at all.
Seriously.

Hereās the official AFL take on the extinction of the Dodo. The choice of words in the article isā¦ interestingā¦
I still reckon heās gone before the commencement of next season. The messaging this week is just to silence everyone while also announcing Rosa. If they announce Rosa without mentioning Dodoro then the groundswell of media prior to the draft would have been a disaster.
This is a managed exit but not a corporate exit.

The Bombers have announced that Dodoro, who has been at the club full-time for a quarter of a century, will continue in his current job through the upcoming trade and draft periods before taking āa step back from his current senior roleā and ātransitioning to and assisting Matt Rosa moving forwardā.
I think the wording is quite telling. There is a lot in it and reads as there is blood on the paper. I have no doubt Dodo was ultimately pushed and it was probably in April. They have obviously agreed to a managed termination because there are appeasing features (and perceptive outcome(s)) to āstep back from his current senior roleā and ātransitioning to and assisting Matt Rosa moving forward.ā
He wonāt be there at the end of the year. The next component is the actual farewell which will be āits the right time to move onto other interestsā phase.

Absolutely love thisā¦well done
Vozzo says it all quite clearly.
āAdrian will work with Matt to ensure a smooth hand-over and a successful transition of responsibilities.ā
So Rosa becomes the AFL Talent & Operations Manager.
What happens to the position left by Dods when he goes= General Manager - List & Recruiting at Essendon Football Club
Iām not even sure we ever have a list strategy in place that plans for more than one year to be honest.
You would think the club would have had McKay on their sights for a while. So if we were into McKay, why draft Hayes with a high pick last year, especially when Scott wants to move Cox to defence?
Countless other examples you can mention too. Like drafting McGrath and Parish with top 5 picks to be midfielders, only to trade for Devon Smith to the play midfield the next year, and then go after Shiel the next year
