Re: If Richmond want Sheeds, Wallace will be sacked soon!

Personally I think Richmond should move heaven and earth to get Sheedy for 3 years. It would pump the place up like nothing else could. Members, sponsors, broadcast deals etc would all fly.
And how long do you think that will last?
Essendon more or less said it themselves.They have no faith in Sheeds when it comes to rebuilding a team list.

Re: Sheedy to the Dees

I think the only team Sheedy will be coaching next year will be Victoria in the State of Origin if it gets the go ahead. If not that then Victoria in the EJ Whitten game.

I heard from a reliable source the Sheed's might be joining Melbourne Victory as an assistant fitness coach.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Re: Sheedy and Harvey...... straight swap?

He is a very cute boy I'll give you that. He has brooding good looks like that old bird's boyfriend on Sex & The City. That underwear model one.

P.S. Why am I lucky?


Maybe he thinks Harvey might go around to your place, and give you a right rogering :thumbsu:


Harvey : Senior coach

Sheeds : Football Director

I heard that he will be lead soprano for the Australian Opera - either that or coach of the friggen Matildas

Re: Sheedy to the Dees

Melbourne should be targeting Sheeds. Obviously Essedon are stalling, I would love to see someone like Sheeds take over at the Dee's. Knows more about the game than anyone else in the box, knows how to get the best out of his younger players, knows how to build a premiership side...

Sheeds is the man. Voss is a #@#%% knowit all.

You've changed your tune pretty fast champ.

First you said:
Voss is already a dee. Guarantee it.

Do you also Guarantee DVD's from Bali?

Then:
Voss has been putting in a lot of hours down at demonland over the past four weeks - tips of a detailed five year plan is already in place - I wonder about any contracts.

Voss obviously is the coach in waiting at Carlton, so he's all of a sudden no good? You're fickle, even by Melbourne supporter standards.

So, what do you propose Essendon do instead? Have him coach forever?

At some point it has to end, and when it does end, it's going to "seem" unfair. But that's always the way it is going to seem when a coach for 27 years does not have his contract renewed. The only way it can not be a disgrace to you, is if just coaches forever, which is a stupid suggestion.

The longer a person coaches, the more emotional the departure. I'm not convinced letting him go was the right move, but I can understand the rationale behind the decision.

There is no "right" or wrong" with this decision. It's simply a decision that had to be made, and they chose to go a certain way. Keepng Sheedy wouldn't have been "right" or "wrong" either, it just would have been another option and a different path.
