Dodoro on SEN
"We'll take the best player, irrespective of their position."
This "pick the best player available" notion is rubbish. We don't need another ruckman. We need midfielders and key position backs. If you have gaping holes like we do, that should be the focus. The only exception is if there is a major gap between the players in terms of ability, which there isn't.
Gibbs or Hansen should be the focus of our first pick. Will receive either the best midfielder or best backman in the draft.

Why are we always soooooo obsessed about getting big men? (like, really really big men?)
That statement from Dodoro is rubbish. He has always been of the opinion that you take a good big man over a good small man every time. Only there are a few problems with that - our midfield is in serious trouble, and most of the big men he's picked up haven't been any good.

well this big man is good. get leuenberger.
If this is true then Dodoro is an imbecile of the highest order. Essendon already have Hille, Chook and Ryder (who they got last year FFS) and delisted one ruckman this year.
The club has a gaping hole at CHB and the midfield stocks could do with a boost. This is one of the best opportunities in years to get the required players to boost the list and they want to throw the number 2 pick after the type of player they already have enough of.

Yes, being compared to Josh Fraser is such an accoladetom9779 wrote:Staggy wrote:Why are we always soooooo obsessed about getting big men? (like, really really big men?)

Denis Pagan says "that the club will use it's No.1 pick at next month's NAB AFL Draft on the most talented player, regardless of the type of player or where he hails from."
Dodoro says ""We'll take the best player, irrespective of their position."
Ho hum, rhetoric and cliche bullshit. Those comments go without saying and they actually say nothing.

Our midfield problems exist because three top 20 picks in three consecutive drafts (Davies, Harvey, Winderlich) have failed to come on. If those three had come on decently they'd be aged ~24, 23 and 22 next year, and add a lot to the midfield.Staggy wrote:Why are we always soooooo obsessed about getting big men?

In the period 2000 to 2002, out of 4 top 20 picks we used 3 on smalls.
