Trade talk - from October 2024 (Part 7)

And so do I

I want our club for once to be whoever.

That’s absolutely ridiculous.

Surely the Eagles chip in a 1st to get it over the line

Given how much the cars fleeced them, I expect they will make it hurt for Reid. The kinda deal that might actually end their run.

He did alright last year without Ridley, he has gone backwards at a rate of knots.

Jack Crisp, another Dodoro f*#k up…he must have some ghosts in that closet

Never heard that, but we missed Luke Ryan. Got brought over from Coburg to train up, but told not to bother.

I’m blaming Dodoro.

Wait im curious here, how is Crisp a dodo blunder?
He was a very late rookie pick in his draft, were we meant to be trading for him and it fell through?

Depends entirely if something comes back in return.

Bloody Dudoro

2 x Best & Fairest winner at the Pies which I reckon would surprise a few. Not just reliable but also been a genuinely good player for them. To be fair, I don’t reckon even they knew they were getting someone quite that good when he was thrown into the Beams trade.

Watching Bobby weak in weak out is giving me so much anger. Bloody Dudoro.

We would have ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  up his development anyway and he would have been delisted by now.

Bobby Hill wanted Pies.
And GWS McCartney hated Dudoro.

Interesting that you seem to think you know more than Bobby Hill himself.
He’s openly stated what went down.

He wanted us, deal didn’t get done.
We said we’d be in touch to try again the following year. Made zero contact with him.

But but but……. It’s not Dodoro’s fault.

First Giants said no. Due to Greene injury or suspension and lack of small forwards???
Would you have offered our first rounder in 2021 - potential Wanganeen-Milera/sin/Hobbs

This is from Big footy.

It’s covered in the Stan ā€˜Show Me The Money’ documentary covering trade period and the draft.

Hill had settled on Collingwood, as they were offering the extra year however after Collingwood spoke with GWS, they realised there was no realistic prospect of a trade and pulled out.

Hill’s agent then called Essendon and said it would have to be four to convince him to pick Essendon, Dodoro was (rightfully) ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  as Hill seemed to change his mind on decisions and only agreed to four years on the proviso that Hill himself actually got on the phone and committed to nominating Essendon.

Another tidbit, Hill’s management try to suggest that Hill was the last piece of the puzzle to put Essendon over for a premiership and they should up their offer to a future second and third. Dodoro said ā€œIf I did that deal I would be sackedā€.
