Does this mean Phatprick will come back also?

This is what we need a dislike button for.

Oh.

In that case, bugger off Sheeds.

 

[eth-dog]

Why do we even care what Phatprick does?

I think you missed the sarcasm there, Eth.

 

[boncer34]

I say let him coach.

I say let him coach.

I suppose it's not totally unrealistic to be drunk at 4pm...

You mean you're not? Mate you've changed.

Doss installed a breathalyser on my account. I can't post over .05 anymore.

Bit of an overreaction I thought....

I did. I christened it the 'Jade-locking' device.

 

[I Remember Bluey]

We need him back in some form.

Trade him for Mumbles.

Hope we did our due-diligence with background checks at GWS, otherwise this really isn't a good look....

So we'll only see you between 7am and 11am then?

Ha, I actually hope we did call Gill just to see what his reaction would be.

 

[JoondalupJ]

Why?

 

[ManWithNoName]

A cocktail of club and coterie money – conservatively estimated at an annual $250,000 – has been raised to install the four-time premiership coach as a community ambassador

Sorry, what?

Essendon's desperate but determined campaign to lure Kevin Sheedy back to the Bombers has been successful.

A cocktail of club and coterie money – conservatively estimated at an annual $250,000 – has been raised to install the four-time premiership coach as a community ambassador and welcome distraction from the harsh realities of everything that Essendon has become.

The move only requires the rubber stamp from Sheedy's current employer Greater Western Sydney who may seek compensation from Essendon for their inaugural coach to break his agreement with them.

The two clubs have been negotiating since the Bombers finally put a formal offer last week to the man still regarded by so many Essendon members as their spiritual leader. After all, Sheedy's deal with the Giants, where he is also a club director, runs until 2017 with exit clauses.

Interestingly, Sheedy's former champion captain James Hird has not been part of the team wooing Sheedy. Interesting too that he will become one of four former AFL coaches now at the club with Mark Harvey, Neil Craig and Mark Neeld.
