Well Sheeds believes Freo trading two picks away for Dean Solomon was the right thing to do  ....



Fremantle’s decision to secure Dean Solomon was not only brave, but correct, according to the man who engineered the veteran’s move away from Essendon.
 
Four-time premiership coach Kevin Sheedy said the Dockers and coach Mark Harvey were to be congratulated for taking a punt on Solomon, stating every club needed players like him to experience success.

Having struggled with discipline and form at stages throughout 2006, Solomon was traded by Sheedy to Fremantle for selections 42 and 47 in that year’s national draft, in which the Bombers acquired Bachar Houli and Kyle Reimers.
 
The Dockers also received pick No. 52 from the Bombers.
 
“We got two late draft choices for trading him out and they’re going OK, but I think Fremantle are in front at the moment. It takes time, four or five years, to develop kids,” Sheedy said.

He has to be kidding himself doesn't he?
Houli & Reimers will be quality players and Solomon is a hack

He giving us a message(boast), sometimes you have to give up something of value to get something of value

Several rumours about Leigh Matthews on other sites. Id prefer Matthews over Sheedy and Malthouse if we go experienced.

Like I said I would prefer Ronald McDonald over both of them. When are the supporters and the club and the media going to move on from the coaches that have had their day, with all due respect. I would only be prepared as a supporter if we had to take an older coach to take Malthouse as I believe he is the only older current serving Coach that could still take us further. But thats my opinion.

Deja Vu all over again.

Kevin Sheedy too busy to coach
Jackie Epstein | May 27, 2009

KEVIN Sheedy has scoffed at suggestions he will coach Richmond should Terry Wallace be axed.

Two prominent former Essendon stars, Tim Watson and James Hird, have said Sheedy would accept an interim coaching role.

But Sheedy, the AFL Coaches' Association president, said he would be too busy with work commitments to take on the top job at Punt Rd.

"I am booked out," he said.

"I've never spoken to anybody at Richmond about any part of coaching.

"Most people in the AFL would say Richmond should pick a young coach. I couldn't step in at the moment."

Sheedy has maintained a strong stance on loyalty, saying Richmond should honour Wallace's contract.

He has taken a role in marketing and membership with the Tigers and helped Ben Cousins before he was drafted to the club.

Sheedy declared pre-season that Richmond, which has had just one victory so far, could win the premiership.

He was coy when pressed about his desire to coach again.

"I've got that many commitments that I'd feel I'd let a lot of people down right now," Sheedy said.

"I've built up a terrific business and I'm basically working my career up at the moment with books and guest speaking.

"When Melbourne don't want to talk to you, that's about the end of it.

"Maybe Melbourne did me a favour not letting me win a wooden spoon or two."

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..

gee thats a killer point MT, what with a fella that currently has a 12% win/loss record, has since proved to be a marvelous decision
