Agree Stripes.  I posted this on another site:

"Right on cue. Instead of an article about the facts of the proposed
role Sheedy will have and an opinion/debate on the merits of this
role, lets poke a stick at the 'Richmond cage' and see if we can get
the 'tiger to bite', especially in these quiet news story times. Use a
sensational headline that doesn't relate to the point (he ends up
talking about Buckley???????) and follow that up with nothing but
'around the water-cooler' speculation. Great journalism."


Bloody journo's make me wild.

As long as he sticks to off-field matters, it's a great appointment
I think the media would have gotten stuck into Wallace even if Sheeds wasn't there if we lost a couple of our early games next year.  Being in his fifth year, he doesn't want any hiccups.
If we wanna boost our coaching panel, I'd be going after a new generation in Buckley.  That would be a bigger coup than Sheeds IMO.

Cambo would be classed as the new generation. Sheeds is finished.

A laughable piece by Robbo btw. With no high profile out of contract players and pointless PSD coming up it's been a very quiet time for footy while we sit and wait for the draft. So no surprise the journos are making stories up. Malthouse would be looking over his shoulder after 10 years and no flag at Buckley not Wallace. Apart from some AIS work and assisting the IR team Bucks has had no coaching experience either.

What a waste of paper ... it really is the off season isn't it.

I feel like suing the journo for wasting the few minutes of my life it took to read that thing.

Kevin Sheedy's spectre pressures Terry Wallace
Mark Robinson | October 22, 2008

...So is Wallace nervous?

Probably not, but can't help wonder what he honestly thinks of the Sheedy appointment, remembering Sheedy famously once accused him of playing that "basketball crap".

Wallace is a realist....

Pity Mark Robinson isn't.... what a non-event nothing editorial

And the point was what exactly  :help

The point was for Robbo to write some crap to justify his pay cheque. Make up there's an issue even though isn't to whip up some phoney hysteria about same old Richmond sacking coaches :sleep.

Geez it must be easy to be a footy journo these days. Just steal ideas for stories and the mood of the public off fan forums.

Bomber fans on BB reckon Sheeds is starting to have a go at Essendon (in his book) and it's part of his new job at Richmond. It's all part of a clever plan to build up the rivalry between the two clubs and get huge crowds at the Dreamtime game.

I dont think BB posters would know what clever was even if it slapped them in the face

Not sure if KB was joking but he said this morning on his show he's surprised Sheeds had any spare time left to get involved at Punt Rd.

Sheedy: Relax, Terry Wallace, your job is safe (Herald-Sun)

Sheedy: Relax, Terry Wallace, your job is safe
Glenn McFarlane | October 26, 2008

KEVIN Sheedy says Richmond coach Terry Wallace has nothing to fear about the AFL coaching legend's return to Punt Rd next season.

Sheedy is close to finalising a deal in a marketing and strategic role at the club where he made his name, but has no intentions of playing a part in the football department.

"It's hard enough to coach - you don't want ex-coaches running around behind you," he said.

"I don't really want to move into the footy department at all.

"There will be times when I will sit down with Terry and have a chat about the club in general. But I will be looking at other areas where I can bring some expertise to the club."

Some have suggested a Sheedy return to Richmond could prove unsettling for Wallace, who is about to enter the final year of his contract.

But Sheedy says nothing could be further from the truth.

The 61-year-old four-time premiership coach doubts if he will coach an AFL team again, but admits he could "never say never".

"I can't make a comment on that because something might happen at another club," he said.

"The odds are I'll never coach again. Not many people get employed at 60 unless you live in America or Europe. Besides, I am enjoying the life I've got at the moment."

Sheedy's return to the yellow and black will come 30 years after he retired as a player. He spoke with Tigers president Gary March about a role when his time at Essendon ended last year, but wanted a year away to relax.

"It's the first time - in 44 years since I joined the VFA - to have a rest, and to be quite honest I have still worked pretty hard this year," he said.

"Now I have got a set of ideas and thoughts that might help some clubs and the AFL."

He plans to put some of those ideas in place at Richmond, saying he was buoyed by the fact the Tigers boasted a large fan base, despite a 28-year premiership drought.

He will push the blockbuster games he has tried to create for Richmond - Dreamtime at the 'G against Essendon and the Eureka Game against North Melbourne.

"I was away for Eureka this year, which was frustrating," he said.

"But I would love to think we could get 60,000 people to the game next year, to thank the people who have worked to build this nation."

He says Richmond has the potential to "do what Essendon has done off the field".

"This is about Richmond and about how we can lock them in as safe and secure in the AFL. The Bombers are locked away and safe because they have about $10 million in the bank or in assets.

"I'm going to bring to the table what I can to help the long-term future of Richmond."

Sheedy, who is expected to keep a part-time role with the AFL next season, wants Richmond to help spread the game internationally.

Speaking as part of the release of his new book, Stand Your Ground, Sheedy says he wanted to trade Bomber captain Matthew Lloyd to the Eagles in a deal to lure Chris Judd at the end of last year.

"Not getting Judd was a huge loss for the Bombers," Sheedy writes. "Even now, West Coast still needs a full-forward, so they might have been really interested in the deal.

"Going to Perth would have given Matthew the chance to play in his favourite position all the time. He wasn't always happy when I switched him to centre half-forward.

"It can be a hard thing in a footy club if the captain doesn't agree with what the coach believes is best for the team."

Yeah, "never say never" must make Terry feel real secure lol
Hey, I don't recall Terry ever saying he was worried, so it's a non-issue, Kevin  ::)

Sheeds is at least annoying Essendon and it's fans  :yep

Yes, We are Essendon, but had it not been for Sheedy, we'd be no better than Richmond now - a sleeping giant that can't wake up. Alas, forget on-field, but at least off-field, Richmond will become a power again with Sheeds assisting at Tigerland. Essendon is now at it's most vulnerable, without a 'figure' of power that can protect the club from outside influence and inner disturbance. Fat Ray is a joker. PJ should become Israel's Prime minister, he's so tight fisted. We have no friends at AFL house, but Sheedy has. At least he waited til' the off-season to start sinking the boots into the old red & black heartland. His non renewal was handled beyond poor, and that's his point.

A club is only as good as the people that run it. He is making Essendon look like it's run by backstabbing cowards.

I hope it doesn't turn into a bitter war of words with all involved with irrepairable damage. He's made his point for the umpteenth time, he should bugger off now and let Knights try to fix the on-field stuff, which is all that needs fixing, apart from Fat Ray.
