Kevin Sheedy threads [merged]

Lets hope all the terry walet lovers all buy memberships next year when that old senile bloke who happened to be on 8 pages of todays paper is the RFC coach in 2008.
Go Tiges.

[Moi]

And the Bombers on the slide ever since.  They should have at least remained competitive in the eight with the team they had.  Instead, they've not looked forward and when their stars retire very very soon, they'll be up the creek.  But who cares.

Good to see your happy the way the RFC is run, 2 wooden spoons in 4 years.
Other clubs have success, EFC 2000 premiership, 2001 runners up.

Yep, I'm a shocking supporter, Jack  
I don't think anyone could possibly label me as happy with the results of the last 26 years, let alone the last couple.  But without going over the same poo everyone is sick of hearing from me, I did see a direction which hasn't happened for a long time.  So I was willing to put up with coming last if it meant we would be going somewhere in the long run.
Yep, I ought to be flogged for showing some faith  

[Passionfruit]

coming last doesnt mean we will go anywhere.
Lets move on

[Bull]

I agree with you Moi, that when Wallace started we seen some direction.

I dont see it anymore.

Our current side is worse than the side Frawley last coached. Sure Frawley and co made bad decisions recruiting wise but we were at the bottom them (bottomed out if you like) now 3 years later and we have bottomed out again.

Wallace also has a lot to answer for.

I dont believe he puts the club ahead of himself.

Sheedy would and that is the BIG difference.

Sheeds on the footy show said a bit of landscape has opened up. If it doesn't happen he'll take 12 months off. They asked him would he go to another club but not as senior coach and Sheeds said that's the bit of landscape. He said Melbourne clubs need more help and experience around the place.

Sheedy would and that is the BIG difference.

See Bull (and I am glad you raised this) - how do we know? how do we really know. Do we assume he will because he played 251 games for the RFC.

He has had ample opportunities over the last 10 years in particulare to come back and chose not to for whatever reason. Now he (suuposedly) wants to come back - that doesn't seem to me putting the RFC first that seems to (me at least) Sheeds putting Sheeds first.

Just my take

Shame on you, shame on me 

Off with ya head

[Ramps]

if i had a contract theres no way id walk, id stick around until they sacked me to get the cash jacko.

I can honestly say he isnt putting himself first

[Ramps]

After reading the sheedy comments its fair IMHO to assume that Sheedy will be at Punt Rd next year. The comment about 'I cant talk about it" ... that says alot. Why not! Arent all the clubs that need coaches out in the open? The last question is who and how is Wallace going to be paid out?

[Hellenic Tiger]

Sheeds for Miller
as a result no payout for Wallace and a chance to improve us by the end of his 5 year tenure.

Sheedy hints at new role next season
July 26, 2007 - 11:52PM | AAP

Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy has hinted that he could take up a new role at another AFL club next season.

The Bombers announced this week that this will be the last of Sheedy's 27 seasons in charge of the club.

Asked about his future coaching prospects, Sheedy was typically cryptic in suggesting there could be a new position created for him at another club.

"There'll be a different position available maybe in the next few months and we'll look at all of those sorts of things, there's a little bit of landscape developing," Sheedy told the Nine Network's AFL Footy Show.

He said his experience gained at the Bombers could prove useful elsewhere.

"I think that clubs are going to need experienced people around and I think in the end, to be quite honest, Melbourne clubs are in more trouble, I think, a little bit then perhaps interstate clubs," he said.

"So you just need a little bit of experience around some footy clubs."

Craig McRae ... last week ... assured Richmond that he wants to remain at Punt Road as a development coach for at least another year.

It was reported in the Herald Sun that Mrs Sheedy said that Kevin was terribly hurt by what had happened at Essendon.  Also, the whole family are Essendon supporters.

Just my take

this is my take

why sheeds would make a difference

because sheeds is teh new "mr football"

what did it take for a really f up sydney side , and i mean a really stuffed up one like our side to ressurrect itself?

it took a man called ron barassi

sure they didnt win a flag with ron, but ron changed the club inside out.

now when terry took over he gave hope, and let us believe we were gonna go ok and he was going to fix the train wreck created by spud

now the way i see it, atm, terry was doing a gr8 job at rebuilding this train wreck, and this yr, rather than put final touches to the train before really test driving it, he took it out for a spin and crashed the mutha train in such a way that the train is in worse shape than ever before.

terry somewhere along the line, didnt recondition this train right, somewhere he missed a part here and there, or maybe he just was really a qualified mechanic and was just someone who knew a bit about trains but really was no train engineer.

so enter sheedy, and with sheedy will come more sponsors , more members, much more publicity and thus more money to finally get the right ppl, to build this damn train from scratch again and do it right.

the more i think about , the more i am starting to believe terry really only has 1 skill, and that is of bs'ing his way into and out of anything.

just my food 4 thought 4 the day
