Kevin Sheedy threads [merged]

Its common knowledge in most cases anyway.
So whats the problem?
Your funny, you say to the masses ?
Wouldnt think a website would be to the masses, would say a very small minority group.
RFC 30,000 members, supporters on internets site less than 1,000 here

Then there shouldn't be a problem in revealing your sources if it's common knowledge.

I would get ""hung "" if I revealed sources

true , u would be, but i come from a world where "omerta" is part of life, if u say pm;d me in confidence , i would take whatever u said to the grave, it would not get out at all

but i understand what u mean

Jewell calls on Sheedy
22 July 2007   Sunday Herald Sun

FORMER Richmond premiership coach Tony Jewell has urged his old club to lure Kevin Sheedy back as a coaching sidekick for Terry Wallace.

Like the style that Carlton employed with David Parkin and Wayne Brittain in 1999, Jewell said Sheedy's experience would be invaluable at Punt Rd.

"Obviously Sheedy's a favourite son and if we can get him back to help us in some way it would be fantastic," Jewell said.

"That would be fantastic if Terry would accept it. If Sheedy could help us then I'm sure we'd welcome him back with open arms.

"You'd certainly have to bounce it off Terry. I don't know him well enough to know how he'd cope with sharing the glory. But if he was free he'd be a great help."

Jewell played in the 1967 premiership side and had two stints as coach, winning a flag during his first in 1980.

He said the team needed to rebuild and Wallace deserved time to finish what he had started.

"We've got a lot of work to do. You've got to have the cattle and just Kevin turning up is not going to wave the magic wand," Jewell said.

"There's a lot of hard work to do in terms of recruiting and getting the right players in the place."

Four-time premiership coach David Parkin mooted a possible union between Sheedy and Mark Harvey for Fremantle.

Parkin described his arrangement with Brittain which led the side to the 1999 Grand Final as a super initiative.

An Essendon board meeting to discuss Sheedy's future will be held this week.

You seem to know what is going on.

Could the about to be vacant position on the AFL commision be a possibilty for Sheeds?

:Cool 

[julzqld]

Now there's a thought.  Or even better still, somehow get rid of Adrian Anderson and puts Sheeds in his place and get the game back to where it should be.

Sheeds wants to coach for another 5 years.
If he went to another club, he would take an an assistant who he would had over the reins to eventually and mentor.
he wouldnt work with a Terry wallace type but more of a younger coach

the thing the club has to decide is is Wallace coaching and developing his team well enough to succeed at some point over the next 3 or 4 years- if its yes then theyll keep him if its no then they may show him the door.

Great post Ramps, would think its more the latter at the present.

is that what u think or what u know?

I think TJ is going senile - fancy comparing Wallace and Sheedy with Parkin and Brittain. There are no parallels.

The thing with Wallace is there is no chance of us playing finals footy in the next two seasons, unless everything fell our way (form, injuries, the draw) and we snuck in 7th or 8th in 2009.

I reckon the club would be better off drawing a line in the sand and comitting FULLY to rebuilding. That means no P. Bowdens/Kingsleys etc by matter of principle it means not trading away or downgrading rnd 1 or 2 picks - i.e. no Polak's either. Throw everything at getting the very best kids we can over the next couple of years. Tell the coach his aim is for us to have the best list under 23 by the end of 2009. That is ambitious, but its not a cop out like this 2011 business and at least it gives Terry something to aim for. I'm less than impressed with his record of developiong young players and on that basis alone I could see better men for the job, but we can't afford to pay him out of our pocket.

You are on the money there Jake.
Dont worry about paying him out, he might walk anyway.
He wouldnt be feeling to great at the minute

[Ramps]

IMHO If Wallace stays another 2 years and we get another 2 years of failure then Richmond is 99% Wallaces last senior coaching job. If he leaves now or at the end of the season, atleast he could say i went there when they were a rabble and I tried to bring in some kids- he'll have some excuse and justification for the performance. Ill be interested to see if Jackos theory has legs.

This is the Danny Frawley saga all over again.
Need to cut our losses now.
