Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro has opened up about an apparent leak of the club’s recruitment plans on the eve of the 2020 AFL draft.
The Bombers were in the news ahead of the draft after a whiteboard which appeared in the club’s draft rehearsal Zoom call seemed to show a number of prospects slotted in on the field alongside current Essendon players.
However, speaking after the draft, where Essendon was able to nab Nik Cox (pick 8), Archie Perkins (9) and Zach Reid (10) with its first three picks, Dodoro suggested that it was an elaborate prank.
“What are you talking about?”, he said with tongue in cheek when asked about the whiteboard on RSN Breakfast Club.
“There’s a lot of people that don’t have a sense of humour in this industry, that’s all I’ll say.”
According to Sydney Swans list manager Kinnear Beatson, Dodoro’s whiteboard ‘blunder’ was simply another extension of his pranks.
“Adrian’s got a wicked sense of humour despite what people might think. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was just a setup, deliberately done so people start to think ‘Oh they’re going to take these players’,” he said on SEN’s Whateley.
“I’m not exactly sure what happened, I saw it – knowing Adrian as well as I do, I’ve known him for a long time in this caper, that could’ve easily been a setup so I wouldn’t be reading too much into that.”
