Kevin Sheedy threads [merged]

[TigerTime]

YEP KEVIN IS OUR MAN

next yr and the year after will be very important and fragile years for us and will definately determine our future as a club.  i have no doubt if we keep failing over the next few years our club will die

a new young coach is not the answer right now.  we need an experienced head who can first rebuild this team and get it playing as it should. 
Kevin has the goods, he knows what to do on and off the field.

We will lose many members and sponsors next yr,  Kevin Sheedy wil also keep cousins on our list and he will keep the members and sponsors coming.  we need as much support as possible over the next 2 or so yrs.

Kevin sheedy should coach us and mentor our next coach, whether its campbell or whoever

one thing is for sure, the playing group WILL respect and listen to Kevin

I know many of you cant stand sheeds, but he is the man 4 the job at hand

a young coach wont be good enough to handle this difficult task at hand.  ppl say look at knighter, knighter took over a club full of success, a power house club, a club that has no disease, a club that has a culture that sheedy built.

sheedy is the only man who can rebuild this poohole called richmond

[Go Richo 12]

Cant see why we would lose sponsers, the publicty we have given this year has been gold! And as for Sheedy, well time is up, maybe he could help us find a new coach!

[TigerTime]

his time isnt up

age has nothing to do with coaching ability, all the best coaches in the world are older wiser smarter

sheedy still has the passion

and we will lose sponsors because no one wants toi be associated with serial losers

but we need sheedy because he has the know how to rebuild this club, danny was a young coach he failed, terry was supposedly a great coach he has failed.

we need sheedy

Id rather Hardwick as senior coach, with Sheedy given a job as director of coaching- that is to oversee all coaches and there development. Hardwick however should run the show as senior coach.

a/ hardwick has no proven record in rebuilding a poohole like richmond
b/ hardwick has really as a coach proven nothing, remember the bombers knocked him back and the bombers know what they are doing
c/ hardwick hates rfc and will never even want the gig
d/ hardwick wont go anywhere where sheedy is

dont know why everyoine rates hardwick, just cos he was a thug as a player, i dont get it

We need to build the club from every angle, no rookie coach can do that

[Fluffy Tiger]

You are entitled to your opinion but so am I

No thanks on Sheedy, he showed in his last years of Essendon that the game has past him and to be honest I never realy liked the way he used to throw the team about and people had no idea where they were playing.

[the_boy_jake]

Its been close to 10 years since Sheeds had a decent team and even longer than that since he successfully rebuilt a team.

I'm with Ramps. Get someone young and hungry like Hardwick in to take the job by the scruff of the neck. If he would benefit from having Sheeds around then by all means get him in.

Dont you think its ten years to late.
Look at Sheedys last three years at Essendon...guilty of the same crimes as Wallace...Trying to fix list with band aid solutions.Re Mal Micheal.Talked Hird out of retirement so they could finish mid table.

To borrow a line from Eddie....Its a nice romantic notion for Sheeds to coach the tigers but Richmond has to deal with Reality not Romance.

[TigerTime]

nothing to do with romance , just got to do with th eright man to build the whole club, not  just the team

our problems are not just on field, but also off.

thats why for at least 2 yrs we need him, then go for the young coach

just my opinion, and btw, the game never passes anyone just cos of their age, as long as they stay involved

this team that matty has at essendon is sheedys team. they are showing more than us atm

saying that i hope we smash them tonight

[Jackstar is back]

Can tell you Tigertime has a point
Forget about match day duites, its a cultural problem
Hardwick ISNT the answer either

people are far too quick to undersell the value of experience in particular when a club has slipped to the point we have...where's the reality in turtning to an inexperienced novice in our hour of need.... ...be it Hardwick, Hinkley or even Cambo, none of them have any expereince to draw on to guide this club , it's almost fanciful to think we could pluck an assistant and place such expectations on them

spot on

common sense is so simple to grasp, but it is amazing how many many ppl just dont have it

After 30 years you would think people would realise there is no single one messiah to turnaround the Club. Sheeds' coaching days are over anyway. If they weren't he'd be still coaching Essendon. Even Melbourne knocked him back for Dean Bailey.

You want a hungry young coach with fresh ideas and credentials (successful lower level coaching and AFL assistant coaching experience) who the young (U23) players on our list can relate to. Next year we'll have one of if not the youngest list in the AFL with a number of the older blokes retiring/delisted. You want someone who is in it for the long term who will grow along with the team. Not a stop gap measure with an old coach and then restarting again in 2 years time with another new coach.

Bingo - We've been looking for a messiah for that long at it hasn't got us anywhere, we just go around in circles and then when things don't work out we sook, we moan and say it's to start again but we go back to the same plan that has failed us so many times

Sheeds isn't the answer. His time is has passed and age has nothing to do with it.

Exactly
