Jakey is flying again this summer. Rinse & repeat. No Club does the "pre season talk" anywhere near like this mob.

Essendon = Entitlement
- Thread starter Number8
- Start date
I reckon the reporting on the Dons has changed slightly this year.
Usually from November until April it has been "The Dons are a premiership contender" but this year it seems to be more "The Dons are talked up every year and fail, (but just quietly this might be the year they are a true premiership contender.)"
That will change if they win consecutive games then the hype is back on. Which will then die off once they start doing what comes naturally to them, losing games
I have noticed that! Like, tell us you are always wrong without actually telling us.
Just like when Jakey kicks 4 v Norf & he's a Superstar again, then plays a mid table side & when the game is on the line he goes MIA again.
Yep. And when after they fail again after getting hyped up by the media, after winning said consecutive games, the media turn on them and say how the club got their hopes up ( the media and bummers supporters only) only to dismally fail, when it was obvious to everyone else that they were *smile* all year with only a few glimpses of good play
It's probably the only year I haven't heard Essendon are the Real Deal and a chance to win a flag.
They are hopeless
They are hopeless
They are still doing a fair bit of talking themselves up tho. Same as every other year.
Bad news for Shiel but sucked in Bombers for trying to pawn him off to another club. No club foolish enough to fall for Dodoro's s hi-jinks.

This has crossed my mind a few times so thought I'd ask, it may have been discussed and I missed it or forgot. Was Dudoro ever held to account or criticised for failing dismally to get the Bobby Hill deal done? Absolute negligence. Had him parcelled up, Hill willing to go there, and he refused to pay a fair price and botched the deal. It was all on the record in that Stan draft doco a couple of years back. At the time I thought what an idiot. In hindsight, Norm Smith medal and Collingwood flag later, he looks like a monumentally incompetent fool.
It is an indictment on him and them. The deal in isolation, just get it done FFS! These things take a lot of work to set up, and he stuffs it up at the death because seemingly he has to 'win' the negotiation. Hill wanted to go to Ess, they seemed to want him, Giants named their price, which was on the money, and Dudoro low balls them and won't budge. It is astounding. What player in the future would trust Dudoro and Essendon? The contrast with Blair could not be more stark. We do the work to set the deals up, we follow through.
Dodo's final balls up for Essendon was his refusal to offer Massimo D’Ambrosio a multi-year deal last season. After giving him an 18 month deal when he pinched him from our VFL program, he wouldn't offer him a 2 year deal contract extension
The Hawks swooped offered him a multi year, and in his first game for the Hawkers (against the Bombers) he wracked up 29 disposals to be one of the Hawks best. On ya Dodo.

You don’t criticize the drafting god
He has never failed. I mean just look at the success they’ve had in the decades he has looked after the list
