Could this be Sheeds' Swansong?

Just an article that I read.

"Whether I coach again or don't, it's really irrelevant from a point of view of wanting to see these guys enjoy some success again," Sheedy said.
"It's not about my future, it's about this group of players' future.
"Every now and then Essendon has had a bad year or two, it doesn't happen that often. Hopefully, we'll get it right this year."

I've never heard him say something like that.. Maybe a mis-quote?

Any thoughts?

Sheedy as Essendon coach will outlast religion!

Noone could do a better job with the group.

He's had to rebuild, but we're gathering pace.

He'll be back and only retire after breaking Jock's record!

all he is saying is that he is putting team's best interests ahead of his own

Was having this discussion last night and barring another dreadful season, Id now say he has the job for as long as he wants it. Not only does he know his players, but he knows how to get the best out of them.

he should be given the time to work some magic with the kids we have recently drafted

If you wrote down every public statement these last 26 years, Kevin Sheedy would have said everything you could possibly imagine at some stage or another. And a lot you couldn't.

I'm not suggesting that he should go, not in the slightest. It's nice to hear him talk about his playing group that way. Seems to have them all pulling in the same direction

yep could not agree anymore its never about the individual its about the team and thats whats the point sheeds is making

yep agree and as long as he has respect of the players he will be around but a good season at least top eight has to happen for sheeds as we all now Essendon dont except been down to long and they expect high standards
