Kevin Sheedy threads [merged]

[Rodgerramjet]

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.

Yes I'm sure he will as well Jack. I reckon he'd really consider coaching Carlton as well if it was the only option available, he loves coaching so much and I personally believe he could coach for many years still.

As far as Sheedy coaching us next year, it's not entirely out of the question, but almost. There would definitely have to be a deal struck with Wallace where he would be willing to walk away without any negative emotion regarding the seperation. If Wallace was pushed, then March would have to walk himself and I'd say Miller would go as well, they would have to do this in order to save face and to keep there personal integrity intact.

There is no way March can just cast off Wallace even if he really wanted Sheedy without having to fall on his own sword himself.

so u r saying sheedy will definately be coaching us next year

I think it is almost certain that either Wallace will have to walk or there will have to be a board spill for Sheedy to coach the Tigers anytime soon.

I don't think March will sack Wallace after his comments in the press today.

Then why did Essendon give him the flick if he is still that good? We're talking about Sheeds the coach of the past 3-4 years. He's 10 years too late coming to Richmond.

Sorry Jack but in all due respect I've heard all this wishful thinking before each time we get a new coach. In fact the same thing was said when Wallace was appointed.

There is the subject of Wallets contract that needs to be addressed as he has the club screwed to the wall.
Who else in this world earns $600,000 a year and is a failure? ( 1 win , 16 games )
Would think if Wallace walks, March might go with him,
Marchs vision on this is understandable but his statements in the press today werent good. e.g. we dont need Sheedy on the footy side.
Like it or not, Kevin Sheedy is a legend, people think he is past it, it absolutely amazes me why people say that. Players at Essendon would die for him in a game of football, cant say the same of the Richmond players and Terrys effect on them.
The only way the Richmond Football Club will EVER go forward is to get a coach who is a QUALITY COACH ( not a spin doctoring used car salesman )and has the presence around him.
E.G. Sheedy, Matthews, Warsfold, Roos,

Tipping Wallace will walk

[{X}]

so jack, are u tipping , guessing, hoping or know something

i minute u say sheedy will be coaching us, next minute u say u r tipping terry will work

just tell us,,
do u know something, or are u guessing or as mt suggested, wishful thinking?

[Passionfruit]

I told you 3 months ago that Sheedy wouldnt get his contract renewed and would coach RFC in 2008.
as of today its 50% there, you will just have to wait and see., wont you.
I dont really care what you think, MT or anyone else thinks actually.
Just telling you the truth, if you dont like it, dont reply to it.

Now , when can I collect my crown lagers ?

[Bull]

I think it is almost certain the Wallace will walk this year.

Listening to the radio this afternoon, the amount of Richmond supporters ringing up and saying that Wallace should go for Sheedy blew me away.

The pressure is going to build at a very rapid rate over the next month and i dont think Wallace will handle it, nor would anyone for that matter.

I agree that Sheedy will get all players onside and that players will not want to walk off the ground withour giving 100% each game.

What sort of $$$ was Sheeds on last year when he was failure (3 wins, 22 games). Where was the passion then! In fact Essendon has won less matches than Richmond since 2005. Their wins this year have been built on the back of one final gasp by their old premiership players (in particular one James Hird) which make up most of their side and playing on smaller grounds (Dome) where their lack of pace isn't exposed.  Only one win at the 'G this year (by a kick against us).  The Dons are sitting 10th btw and haven't played finals in 3 years starting in 2005 with a daylight better list at the time than the Tigers had. Topping up with Camporale, Heffernan, Michael is no better than getting Kingsley. Drafting poor old Kepler Bradley with pick 6 is no different to say us getting JON at #8. Essendon's recruiting over the past 5 years has been crap and they have all the finanical resources the RFC can only dream about. As for spin doctoring. Sheeds is the master of it Jack.

Hate Wallace for all his worth but we gave him a 5-year contract because the club financially and list-wise a disaster zone and it would take years to fix. If by 2009 it's time to move Wallace on then by all means do so. Sacking him mid-stream is hardly cultural change at Richmond  . Any $1.2 million pay-out would be better spent being pumped into boosting our recruiting and development resources. Areas that will make a difference rather than this nostalgic nonsense no matter how much it is based on fact and is going on behind the scenes.

What if he walks MT?

You fail to see the big picture.
there will be no payout
Can tell you that the majority of Richmond people want Wallace out the door due to the damage he has done.  eg Going against board directives by drafting playing over 25 years of age.. This club has endured enough pain, if you want to endure another two more years, yeah right. People are sick of it, Frawley now wallace.
Clean the place completely out, no jobs for mates, eg wayne Johnson
His comments at the start of the year were a disgrace, The NAB CUP thing blew up in his face with him breaking down key players before seasons start( Dont see Roos doing that, do you)

Sheeds has 5 years left in him.
He will turn the club around OFF the ground and bring a wealth of experince with his assistants at footy level, not unknowns like David King and Jade Rawlings, never coached in the life and now there assistants at an AFL CLUB, GET REAL

BTW, Mal Michael would kill Kent Kingsley , but thats not the point, see the big picture.
And at least Kepler Bradley has play some games, JON wont!
hate to say Paddy Ryder 7 and JON 8 ? Oh dear
Also have had a close look at the Bendigo Bombers, who of the genuises here say that they havent got any good young players
Fair Dinkum,
