Dear Mr. Sheedy

[Bomaz_Magic]

Can we please play players in their correct positions:

Peverill is a very good midfielder who gets plenty of it and shuts down an opposition player. NOT A HBF

McPhee plays best floating accross HB.

Rama is quite useful when he is ON THE GROUND

Murph is a dangerous MIDFIELDER and FORWARD

Bardley is dangerous in the RESERVES

MJ and Solly are in their right positions DOWN BACK.

Bolts is not and never will be a KPP, he is HBF.

Allan is better than hille.

Hille would be useful playing for BENDIGO

Mercuri is quite good when he is on THE GROUND, not the bench.

I'm sure Sam Hunt is the answer to all of our problems.

Ill hunt(pardun the pun) you down you cheeky bastard.

I can't see why a select few are upset. Sure, we are **** but they're pretty good and to only lose to a side that had two players kick 6+ ea by 35 points isn't that bad. Thankfully that last quarter saved us. It's about time we did something like that. St Kilda really could have punished us. We needed to do it last week to gain a 'respectable loss' bu didn't.

Never fear, we have port this week. Let's see how we go then. This is one loss, but if we keep it under 50 pts it will at least show we are doing something right against them.

 

[Bomaz_Magic]

After watching Bendigo, their is no doubt looking at our current availabilities that Bradley and Hille should be in our 1sts, and I apologise for saying they should be dropped, because our resrves are no good.

Well put. I was thinking along those lines on the train home. I don't think the margin flattered us either, as we did dominate in patches, though we were too ordinary to ever win.

The best bit was the Stanton to Kepler to Winder goal. I think the first 2 will be guns and still have hope for winder.

I think he's wasted in the forward pocket. Most of his goals this year have come from playing up the ground and then pushing forward, rather than coming out to meet the ball. A few weeks ago (i saw in the record) he was dominating most of the stats, with things like looseball gets and handball receives, and we know how well he kicks the ball. We've missed a bit of that with him playing so deep forward. Hopefully if Cupido comes back it will mean he spends more time in the middle.

He spent much of the night in the foward flank and did nothing.

Truth is folks, Murphs is no good fullstop.

However at $50K he has been good for us and worth the money. He is not, and was never meant to be, the answer to our midfield problem. He should have been used as the loose man in defense last night but was instead told to play forward.

He's good when his team has the ball.

Both should be playing for Bendigo.

He should never have been picked full stop. and he was only marginally more effective when on the ground than when he was off it

Like Mercuri, only marginally more effective while on the ground than off it.

it should explain most of the things mentioned in this thread...also it may mean that hunt will finally get a go

Sheeds giving mixed messages again. In the article form afl.com.au he says this first.

Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy says he will put team development ahead of finals aspirations in the remaining five games of the home-and-away season.

Speaking after the Dons 35-point loss to St Kilda - a crunch game that could see them out of the eight by the end of round 17 - Sheedy said he still expected to make the eight this year but vowed he would not play 'safe players' to get there.


"I don't have a problem (with missing the finals). That's life boys, live it and move on. I've done it before and I'm not prepared to worry about that."

"I'm not going to go back and pick safe players. I'm going to pick players that have got some vibrancy and dare and devil and see what I can end up with," he said after the match.

Sounds exciting huh. Yep he is going to play the kids and see what happens.......But then he contradicts himself by saying this...

Sheedy said he expected to include five senior players in next week's team that will take on Port Adelaide. James Hird, Dustin Fletcher, Dean Rioli, Scott Lucas and Damian Cupido all missed Friday's match.

"Hopefully next week we can front up with probably one of the best sides Essendon has had in a month."

Time to drop some more youngsters sheeds.

 

[Bartholin Juice]

We should at most select three of those five: Lucas, Fletcher, and Hird/Rioli.

Drop Rama, Mercuri, and ...

 

[Cooldude]

We know Sheeds will drop the kids that has shown ticker and desperation for the Senior players returning. Nowadays his post-match press conference means nothing, coz he usually talks crap

 

[Bartholin Juice]

Sheedy will be on Bomber Radio 927 tonight at 8pm -9pm, so ring in and let him know what you think!

But when you are taking around 400 games of experience out of the side through late changes, you need some sort of experience out there

And given that we'll be bringing back 400 games of experience this week, he should be dropped.

Hey bombers , John Paul Young wrote a song about Sheeds .

Take a look at me, I`m Yesterdays Hero .........................
..................................Yesterdays Hero

One time to many guys

 

[waspy]

Cant wait for selection tomorrow, anything could happen. I think he will bring back 3 players and drop at least one experienced player but I fear that the same guys will be dropped again (Winderlich, Bullen etc.).

 

[ant555]

I would have thought that after 24 years you would be used to all of this. Everyone want to have a shot at Sheeds when we are on the decline but havnt his methods worked 4 or 5 times in the past. He has produced a flag winning team with three different playing groups so he must have some idea of what he is doing.

As for yesterdays hero given it is only 2 and a half season since we made the GF one could argue that anyone who has coached a team and not made a GF before then should be sacked as well
