Kevin Sheedy threads [merged]

[Fishfinger]

The lap at the end was fantastic.
A great send off for Hird and Sheedy.

The thing that puzzles me is Essendon walloping on how they wanted to give Sheeds the send off he deserves - they sacked him.  ???      ???

[Rodgerramjet]

Firstly the article is rubbish, just some journo trying to make something out of nothing.

Last night showed why Sheeds is finished.

He couldnt get the bombers up on such a huge occassion.

The reason he is leaving the club to begin with is because he had lost the players (the senior group including hird).

Last nights crowd showed the respect for someone who has contributed heaps to the game.

True

As for the bombers couldnt get up. they had no bench in the last quarter, have yet to see a side win a quarter of modern day football without a bench..

That might have been the case, but the bombers would not have won that game last night even if they did have there bench available Jack.

He couldnt get the bombers up on such a huge occassion. They were never going to win, and were downright insipid in parts.

Have to say, last night wss one of the most enjoyable night of football I have had in many a year.

Its been a while since we ruined somebodies party, couldnt of happened to a nicer bloke!

Are you twisted Blaisee ?  Last nights crowd showed the respect for someone who has contributed heaps to the game.

I might add that the best team won on the night and should of won by more and that James Hird has retired at the right time as his defensive pressure last night was poor, as was Lloyd and Ryder, thus the tiges dominace in rebounding out of D 50.

jack you reckon wallet spins poo, well sheeds is the master.

talking about him having a young team, when the goal to goal line was

mal michael 30
lucas 30
campo 32
hird 33
lloyd 29

yea real young, and with a real bright future!

give credit were it is due, we should of won by ten goals, sheeds outcoached by wallet....again.

[{X}]

to be honest, wallace has owned sheedy, always coached well v sheeds

[Hellenic Tiger]

Yeah Wallace leads Sheeds 8 wins to 5 with 1 draw in terms
of their head to head coaching.

You must of been to a different game then me Blaisee.
Thought Ryder played as ""hit up forward"" with Hird playing high, similiar to Petts.
Cant remember Campo starting  in centre square either
And you obivously have trouble reading as I said they should of won by more.
As for young players, Courtney Dempsey will be something  very special if you had looked last night, I would think 88,000 spectators would agree with that

that dempsey kid looks a gun

absolute jets at the back of his feet and loves blasting from packs

shame his hammy went

Have to say, last night wss one of the most enjoyable night of football I have had in many a year.

Dare I say it but part of me felt the same

I walked away that game thinking people have been crtical of Tezza over the past few months saying he was a hopeless coach- What about Sheeds last evening ??? Clearly out-coached from where I was sitting in the bleachers 

Where to start....

I mean Lucas who practically won them the Dreamtime game as a forward, playing down back on Jay Schulz. Now I reckon Jay will be OK but struth Jay Schulz  that was a big win for us. Apart from Nadia Lloyd and Hird what target forwards did they have

No pace in the mid-field, seemed so focused on tagging our mid-field - what the.....

Not disputing that he has given heaps to the game and yep the crowd was a mark of respect to him and his achievements - Ditto Hird even though I've never had much respect for him since he showed us no repsect all those years ago on (1995 for those wondering ) but it still doesn't hide the fact that they had so much to play for then the Tigers and they were very poor indeed

As I said I thought his actual coaching last night was poor.

And as for the fool in the article who says Sheeds' recruiting hass been better - give me a break. Michael, Camporeale, Cole and who could forget Zantuck... want me to go on.. K Bradley ???

Agree Ryder will be good, unfortuantely last night there wasn't many others who stood out in their young brigade. Based on last night our kids look alot more promising IMHO

For the older Bomber fans they would remember when Essendon were nobodies in the 70s. Unless you lived in the NW suburbs you never bumped into one of their supporters. Sheeds turned them into the big club they are now.

As for the bombers couldnt get up. they had no bench in the last quarter, have yet to see a side win a quarter of modern day football without a bench.

Made up for the extra 3 they had in the first half  . 13-6 free kick count despite us being in front and first to the ball with Lloyd of course getting soft frees in front of goal for diving  . I'm allowed to whinge because we still won .

I might add that the best team won on the night and should of won by more

I'm sure you would treasure a bit of footage I have of him on the Footy Show the following day.
Sooking at it's best

but, I will see your ryder and dempsey and raise you

Lids, Edwards, Bling, Thirsty, Mcguane, patto, king, Polak, jacko.

I guess the point I am trying to make is wallet is blooding youth, in a selfless way, while sheeds is/was just trying to sneak into the finals with a team of old farts, and leaving the dons in a mess that they are going to have to v=clean up for years

Reckon that Davey( currently injured) , Dempsey and Lovett are the quickest players I have seen.

As for the players you mentioned.
Lids is a gun, Edwards will be something special, Tambling ? , Thurstfield will be good, Mcgaune ? Patto needs to keep improving, King solid, Polak ok, Jacko, might be traded

Good luck to Llloyd if the AFL have rules where the players can manipulate them. Thought the umpiring was excellent last night
