Sheeds has no place (Australian)

Legend of Windy Hill has no place
Greg Denham | July 26, 2007 | The Australian

KEVIN SHEEDY appears highly unlikely to continue his coaching career at a rival club. Despite being in the market for a fresh challenge after almost 27 years at Windy Hill, Sheedy's future opportunities have all but dried up.

Sheedy, who turns 60 in December, is not on the short list with the clubs that have vacancies for next year and beyond - Melbourne, Carlton or Fremantle.

And Richmond, the club of his origin as a player and who almost lured him back to Punt Road as its senior coach a decade ago, yesterday ruled him out in the short term.

Asked whether he would consider an offer to coach Richmond, Sheedy said: "Can I think about that. That's a hard call, not only because Terry (Wallace) has a two-year contract."

Sheedy suggested that he would be open to a senior coaching position elsewhere. "I'll take that on board when it comes up, if it comes up," he said. "If an opportunity comes up, I'll take a look at that. If I think it's right I'll be in footy somewhere and enjoying myself."

He said he would not work in any other capacity at Essendon. "You can't be here and coaching somewhere else maybe," Sheedy said with a smile.

Richmond president Gary March said yesterday: "Categorically, are we interested in Kevin Sheedy for a footy role next year? The answer is no. We'd be interested in him in a non-football role next year and down the track we'd love him to come on as a board member, he'd be fantastic."

Little secret here Blaisee
The deal with Sheeds was nearly over the line 3 years ago,
Just ask your friend Greg Miller who supported Wallace and not the ""BIG PICTURE""  This is fact.
If is wasnt for Miller, Sheeds would of been in his third year at Punt road and we wouldnt be on the bottom and we wouldnt have pretenders and mates as assistant coaches.
Ask the players what they think of Wallace. mail is worse than SPUD


OMG - 3 years ago - let me see what was I nearly doing 3 years ago ::)

Sorry Jack - seriously "nearly"s don't cut it. He was never coming back 3 years ago. The time for him was 1999  and he chose to stay in the comfy confines of Windy Hill. Not the poor unresourced tigers.

Now the Bombers have said bye bye - he wants to come back - pluuzzee.





Can tell you, he was going back 3 years ago, FACT
Only problem Miller didnt, Miller wanted Wallace as that was it.

Jackstar is quite accurate.

There are some very influential people involved and whether the people on this forum, Richmond members and supporters like it or not  decisions will be made that will change the future of the club.


Correct!

[Essendon's winning record since 2005 has been worse than even ours.

Wow - that is really saying something.  Didn't think anyone was worse than us.

bye bye wallce, welcome kevin(as long as u stop barracking for the bombers)


Struth xXx you give the term bandwagon jumper new meaning

One minute your on Tezza, then sheeds, back to tezza, then sheeds, then tezza now sheeds

 :rollin :rollin

if u read my posts , that one and previous ones, i have said, if terry stays fine, if he goes fine , whatever the club does i will still support my club.

about terry and ur reply post, what i said was

if it is true that terry has lost the players, there is no point in waisting 2 more yrs, thus bye bye terry , welcome kevin.

so that statement was based on if its true the players have lost terry and if its true that they say he is much worse a coach than spud.

there is a flip side though

if its only the older players who say this, and the younger group respect and believe in terry, then bye bye to all the senior group , and terry stays.


i dont want terry out just for the sake of getting sheedy in, the only , and only reason i would want terry out, id if has lost the entires group of players, thats my only concern.

whether thats me being on a changing and revolving band wagon , i dont know.

what ever happens, have to happen for the right reasons.

we cant get sheedy and sack wallace just for the sake of getting sheedy if the players want terry

we cant keep wallace just for the sake of saving money if the players and the board both agree that terry has no idea. 

what the club has to do is really work hard and analyze whats best.

rfc has hit the x roads, whatever we do over the next this njext afl tv rights yrs( so 4 to go) will determine our future. we stay rockbottom over teh next 4 yrs, u can kiss the rfc goodbye, who knows where the afl will send us or make us fold

maybe thats what the board is scared of, thus having sheedy around may be just what we need to save our skins all over again

CUB back on deck after the news.
Without having read through this yet, I will stae my backflip on previous comments.
We should get Sheedy on whatever basis role we can, if TW doesn't like it tough titys.
I dont care what others think 'outside rfc' but Sheeds does have the respect of the football world, TW does not - simple fact.
Just think it would be a massive boon for the club and the players to have someone so revered around.

Now I will go and sift through this thread, obviously skipping over multiple posts by a certain poster's'  :lol :banghead

if crazy john was a real richmond man he'd just hand over the cash  :banghead

What purpose would that serve to an egomaniac?

No publicty in that scenario

Maybe if Richo played wearing a Crazy John costume he'd give us the money.

We need Sheedy back in some capacity.

Sheedy is all about 'what is good for football', and a strong, competitive and firing Richmond is good for football.

Jack, are you being deliberately vague for fear of litigation or fear of being proven completely incorrect??

If your sauce is the same person who said Polak would spend most of the season playing in Coburg then I think I may have just answered my own question.  ::)

  • Never cast pearls before swine.
The only way any club will get sheedy to them is by offering him the senior coaching position.

If he is going to be an ambassodor for us he can just as easily and would probably be more willing to be an ambassodr for Essendon.

Senior coaching position is the only position he wants.

Kevin Sheedy will coach AFL next year.
Judging by the number of pages devoted to him in todays paper he means more to the football world than he does to a few posters here.
To have K. Sheedy lead the RFC next year will automatically lift membership to greater heights than seen before.
It will also instill into the player group ,passion and a bit of mongrel and the Richmond spirit of having a go, something that has lacked for a long long time at Punt road.  Something that Wallace cant manufacture, doesnt matter how hard he  tries.
It will be a CULTURE change.
