Sheeds: Michael good influence on the kids

[jules101]

Just got back from an Essendonian function attended by Sheeds, Gumby, Jetta, Demspey and Monfries. When asked about Mal Michael Sheeds said he has been a great influence for the younger players. Apparently he took Jetta out with him around Darwin checking out the city etc... According to Gumbleton he is a scary guy on the field though...
Good that he is showing some leadership skills. Other news from the function is that Monfries wants to find more of the ball this year and kick the ball the right way, Dempsey has put on 8kg this summer, Jetta wants to play seniors this year and didnt get much from Gumby part from Lloydy, Lucas, Pav and Riewoldt are his fav players...

Gumby..the quiet W.A country boy finding himself amongst the loud Victorians

Gary O'donnell also mentioned that his on field, training instructions have been great for ALL our team, young and old.

Apparantly he shows players where they should be, where to run to etc etc.

Thanks Carlton

Perhaps Mal taught them some lessons on loyalty.

From memory I don't think Ackland said he retired and then miraculously came out of retirement before the PSD.

Must be something in the water in Brisbane, Eade said the same of Akermanis at a fundraiser in Tasmania. Coaches at fundraisers.

Can you believe a lemon of a ruckman coming off a poor season gets a pay rise and 3 year deal.

How much did Laycock get?

Two years, base pay.

Sorry, I'll refrain. This is your board. It's just that some of the massively ironical comments posted here and too tempting to ignore.

 

[Longy413]

No...you just don't have a leg to stand on.

 

[wazzabp]

Anyway back on topic.
It goes to show what a good move it was to get Mal to the club, his presence in the short term will be great, but the footy lessons he can give the young guys will be very handy for the club for the future.

Jetta said the only prob with MM is that he is so scary he couldnt sleep when rooming with him

Well, considering the club he is going to.......

That`s it, owned again.

Yeah the Mal Michael role model thing sucked me in. I didn't pick up on the sarcasm.

Couldn`t help himself, I love it, 2-nil.
