@wembanyanas @AlbertThurgood @cdesilva23 Yes there’s development issues at play, but that doesn’t mean Dudoro wasn’t the most farcically overrated and over promoted person in football history

@AlbertThurgood @cdesilva23 Not sure id quite agree as theres also development issues and the saga at play
2017 AA team had Hibbo Bear Merrett Joey Paddy
Saga ruined a finals team without a doubt, heck you can even add Selwood when they changed the priority picks that year 😭😭
English
I see @cdesilva23 has summarised our recruiting and list management under Lord Dodoro (EFC Life Member for services in List Management):
English
@hayphil55 @DarrenF68995283 ‘Bleeding red & black’ means nothing in the professional age. Hardwick didn’t bleed Richmond, Fagan didn’t bleed Lions, Clarkson didn’t bleed Hawthorn, they’re good coaches who developed the best systems to take advantage of well recruited & trained players in well-run clubs
English
@DarrenF68995283 This is a crew who can put EFC back on track. They all bled red n black…
English
@roe6521 @AlbertThurgood ‘Disco’ had 1 really good choice in 25 years, he was amateur hour, a charlatan & fraud that reflects incredibly poorly on the club, its board over that time & Sheedy for supporting him. Sure everything else has been bad but it starts with rubbish recruiting
English
@BrookerRules @AlbertThurgood Shreds left in the 2000s so that’s a bit far fetched and Disco i agree in some way but he’s had some good choices and he hasn’t been the one coaching.
We keep getting mid coaches that can’t develop.
English
Essendon gave Adrian Dodoro Life Membership in 2021 for ‘identifying, recruiting and nurturing’ young talent.
Royal Commission, please.
English
@emit_foetsaw @essendonfc Even that will be tainted by the fact no one could coach much out of the current sad lot. And by the fact that Welsh & co will keep the old boy network alive & probably let the wreckers back in
English
@essendonfc The only enjoyment will be when we sack Scott and all the people involved with getting him into the club.
English
@benlee1979 @essendonfc Given we were always going to be awful and are (finally)bottoming out, the season was always going to be bad. We have a rubbish coaching staff, one of the worst lists ever assembled (thanks Dudoro), so why you thought it would be any different is a mystery
English
@essendonfc Season was done in rd2, realisation of how bad we are…not sure what the fans are meant to do for the remaining 21 games, especially if we’ve prepaid not fun going to games knowing you’re going to get smashed every week. Not looking VFL standard at the moment
English
@Liam2799 @mizzshoppalott @AlbertThurgood He’s a great example of why you should never hold people on a pedestal. Sure he was a great coach, but the fact he has been able to wield so much influence since then because ‘legend’ has been a cancer for the club
English
@BrookerRules @mizzshoppalott @AlbertThurgood I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees it that way.
Everytime he makes another appearance at or around the club it just feels like a massive ego stroke and it’s time to thank him for his time and have him disappear into the background.
English
@roe6521 @AlbertThurgood Because these two have played the central roles in creating our present
English
@mizzshoppalott @Liam2799 @AlbertThurgood He’s screwed his record since then. His support of Dudoro is unforgivable, and his final 5 years as coach recruiting washed-up has-beens and his obsessions with project players was the first step in our demise.
English
@Liam2799 @AlbertThurgood Yet Sheedy was the last coach we won a flag under!!!
English
@Dave91473661 @Mattsp1527 @HelpRodger I mean both the ALP & LNP certainly have their flaws but it might be a bit of a stretch to compare them to Mao and Stalin in the annals of evil regimes
English
@Mattsp1527 @HelpRodger Because Australia is going so well under the ALP & LNP 🙄
You partisan hacks remind me of those who supported Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin and there ilk, they watched their families die while cheering on the people killing them.
English
Pauline Hanson skips half the pointless Canberra votes because she's not a rubber-stamping drone for woke garbage and globalist sell-outs.While seat-warmers nod along to every betrayal, she's out fighting for real Aussies on immigration, family law, and freedom.Low attendance isn't failure — it's a badge of honour when "showing up" means screwing the battlers. Pauline shows up where it counts.
Kenny Devine@TheKennyDevine
'Vote for somebody who only turns up to work half the time' is quite the argument against somebody 'flaunting privilege'.
English
@JIMJIM1612 @SandraEckersley Yeah Gina’s money doesn’t come with ‘strings attached’…. Ok
English
@SandraEckersley Pocock’s support from Climate 200 backs the policies he already stands for he still votes as an Independent. Hanson’s donations from billionaires and fossil fuel interests fund her campaigns and shape her messaging. One is support for ideas, the other comes with strings attached.
English
David Pocock has achieved more as a single Independent MP in four years than Pauline Hanson and her entire circus of expensive clowns have achieved in 20 years. #auspol

@VSvartdal @artwithinpod I mean it’s two minutes of footage out of an entire season. Maybe wait to see the actual show before you decided it didn’t ’highlight other stuff’
English
@artwithinpod I wasn't prepared for it to look exactly like the movie, just worse.
I thought they would highlight other stuff in the TV series, but it's basically all just the same. Just worse. And it really suffers from not having a John Willams score.
English
against all odds, I was fully unprepared for just how off-putting and uncomfortable this would be to watch. something about seeing such a classically-crafted, iconic film series translated into the aesthetics of a modern HBO prestige streamer show just feels uncanny valley wrong.

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series. Releasing this Christmas on HBO.
English
@Bender_Aus @TaitKathi Umm, that vote wasn’t to ‘reject local government’ and do away with it altogether
English
In September of 1988 the Australian people in every state rejected local governments, yet they went ahead anyway.
No sitting politicians ever acknowledge this transgression against the citizens of Australia, local government/councils are illegitimate and unconstitutional.
Show this to your local mp and ask why. #auspol
English
@DJShambolic @MikeCarlton01 What do they know that we don’t? It does beg the question why they all seem so beholden to Israel, or why so many in the UK, Aus (&others) can’t seem to conceive of breaking any ties to the US. I wouldn’t think it’s a massive vote loser atm?
English
@MikeCarlton01 Sounds like all major party politicians around the world and in Australia…
English
What a sleazy, money-grubbing grifter B-liar has become…
English
English
@LeeroyLives @australian I agree that Morrison (like Turnbull) were terrible leaders. However, they were never as bad as Albo - He really has stuffed the country.
English
Opinion: Labor wants to tell the Americans it’s fully supportive and participating, while telling its own party, Greens voters, progressive commentators et al that it’s doing nothing at all: bit.ly/46QGApz
English
@MikeCarlton01 @rohan_connolly Problem is, around the world right now now, a lot of people seem drawn to fear and loathing. It seems to be quite the vote winner, click getter and money spinner
English
The One Nation bubble will burst fairly soon. Hanson whines and snarls and the media amplify her, but she has nothing to offer beyond fear and loathing. Most people see her for what she is: Gina Rinehart’s muppet.

English
@Frode_K4mbo @polyz911 @JamesTate121 Oh absolutely. The United States is still the best place in the world to be, regardless of its many issues.
English
@RHEasingwoodII @Rojtus1 @chasecharb @JamesTate121 So shouldn’t you do the same for the military or police? Make them user pays or whatever? Why pay taxes for these but not for a basic standard of healthcare
English
@Rojtus1 @chasecharb @JamesTate121 I agree there's a problem with costs of healthcare, but I don't think coercing the taxpayer into any system is the answer.
English
@Bombers83 @rohan_connolly It’s chicken & egg though, they produce this garbage because people for some reason watch it, and it’s cheaper…
English
@rohan_connolly Outside of sports, is it any wonder why people don’t watch FTA anymore?
May be showing my age here but old enough to remember when we made great tv shows that were must watch
English
When you're at gym & glance at the TVs on free-to-air channels, you notice virtually everything is either a game show or reality TV. The contrast with quality of streaming options is a gulf. That's also how I'm starting to feel with our major newspapers vs. independent media.
English
@Trigga83_NFT @MKB27 @SandraEckersley Yeah the private sector always ‘tells it like it is’ and ever lies. Sure
English
@MKB27 @SandraEckersley Consultants I know (not the company that would obviously get a lot more) get between 180-220k. The difference I’ve seen is that when you ask a private professional a question you actually get an answer not just a word salad that doesn’t answer the question.
English
It is much CHEAPER to hire people on salaries rather than employing battalions of ‘consultants’ on high hourly salaries. Why do people not understand this? #auspol
Phillip Riley@philmupp1
The problem with cuts to the Public Service announced as a priority by Angus Taylor and the LNP is that they would go back to wasting taxpayer money on private consultant mates rates. They have form.
English
@Leftfield9 @SandraEckersley @goHutchy It’d be even worse without these protections, as piecemeal and flawed as they sometimes are. Some safeguards are better than none
