Universal Love Sheedy returns home to Essendon

[Stopher]

So we have the 2000 premiership captain, 2000 premiership coach, 2000 premiership assistant coach, 2000 premiership full forward and 2000 premiership ruckman all back at the club

And the 2000 premiership fullback.....though he never actually left!

 

[Maddogm]

Yeah but he never left the club

that's the Farnham fan in you, only interested in comebacks

 

[Philzsay]

And the 2000 premiership fullback.....though he never actually left!

Who also happens to be the 2000 Crichton Medalist, the most prestigious medal in the world!

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind the peasantry that makes up 16 other clubs of what they'll never have.....

 

[Beerfish]

Pretty sure they all have banners.

 

[carnthedons]

Pretty sure they all have banners.

Yep, some of them with poignant messages like the below

 

[DapperJong]

some just aren't as epic

 

[Doss]

Welcome home, Sheeds.

I'll be interested to see what he does and what impact he has. Hopefully no more references to the 'Christian' club though! Whatever that even meant.

I took it as one of his good old back hands (turning the other cheek through this whole saga) and he might be going to give some back.

I didnt entirely understand what he meant by that, a lot of people dont seem to like it though.

 

[The Dustbin]

Welcome home Sheeds. I like his new role

 

[LB#16]

Losing Bomber was terrible, but Sheeds returning more than makes up for it.

 

[Beerfish]

Losing Bomber was terrible, but Sheeds returning more than makes up for it.

Not so sure about that but I'll certainly take it.

 

[Doss]

Not so sure about that but I'll certainly take it.

Don't think the two can be compared. One had the main coaching role last year, the other won't be anywhere near coaching.

I suppose the similarity might come in the demeanour they adopt with the media. Bomber certainly made watching pressers more palatable with his horsing around. Sheedy has some similar qualities in that regard, although he is less the clown like Bomber was and more the mysterious type.

 

[LB#16]

Not so sure about that but I'll certainly take it.

I just read that back, very poorly worded

My intention was to say that he's a beloved figure returning to the club. His contribution to the club can't be compared to what Bomber did for us. Different men and different circumstances entirely.

 

[Runk]

some just aren't as epic

No wonder he left. What a shite banner. AND HOW SMALL IS IT??

 

[Doss]

Yep, some of them with poignant messages like the below

And some like this timeless classic below:

that was my bad

 

[expires]

So we have the 2000 premiership captain, 2000 premiership coach, 2000 premiership assistant coach, 2000 premiership full forward and 2000 premiership ruckman all back at the club

Also a winger.

There was another Essendon Christian reference by Sheeds this morning.

That said, not too bad an interview

 

[Doss]

Maybe Christians are Sheeds' new aliens. His new Windy Hill flu.

I especially liked the part where he took the piss out of the garbage list at Carlton.

I'm actually starting to think there is some crazy method there....

 

[DonsRule]

Maybe Christians are Sheeds' new aliens. His new Windy Hill flu.

It was this time a very light reference.

He did well inbatting away a lot of other crap, trying to get the what ifs on Hird etc, walked right around that.
