Kevin Sheedy threads [merged]

Was watching the Channel 9 news tonight and they went to the offices of the Hun to talk about what will be in the paper tomorrow.


As one of the items there they mentioned that a high profile candidate for the coaching job at RFC has pulled out.

Is anyone aware of who it is and why? Is It Bucks?????????

[mightytiges]

It wouldn't surprise me if it's Sheeds

I heard Bucks on AW after the game. He made it really clear Richmond was years away from developing a proper list. Caller came on and asked him to rate us and he said he didnt rate Carlton and look what they did to us today.

No way Bucks wants the job .

If any aspiring coach thinks he's going to walk into a Club with a list ready to go or thereabouts he is kidding himself. People would've have said Hawthorn was years away when Clarkson got the gig. Same with Thompson at Geelong in 1999, Knighter at Essendon, etc. Coaches don't get the flick from good performing lists.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I'm hoping its Sheeds......

Would love to see either Bucks or Hardwick coach the club.

[Hes My Hero]

I reckon it's Laidley. It seems he might be eyeing off either a St's gig or something else interstate.

[mightytiges]

Was Laidley in the running? I thought we/he weren't interested.

He has family involved at Freo and at the Eagles.

Silly to compare Buckley with Clarkson or even Knights. Those guys were considered lucky to get a coaching gig and were surprise/left field selections. Better comparisons with Frawley. Buckley, whether deserved or not, can almost pick his first coaching job. Compare him to Voss and Hird and those blokes wont want to wreck a coaching career by taking on what they think is an impossible job.

At half-time of the Brisbane-Geelong game

[Hes My Hero]

Will be announced at 1/2 time on channel 10 !!!!
( 5 mins )

I think it may be Richardson. Apparently the club asked him to apply when he was not intending to.

[one-eyed]

No names yet but the candidate who has pulled out believes he was never a chance in the process and as a result is embarrassed he put his hand up in the first place.

It's not Buckley as he'll speak to both Richmond and North in the next 10 days.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Sounds like its Sheeds.

It was mentioned Bucks will be talking to us and North in the next 10 days.

[mightytiges]

Yep it must be Sheeds. Oh well we'll live without him lol.

Wait for the past player and coterie sooks to have a cry come Monday morning now that their mate is out. Serves them right for publicly pushing his cause and putting pressure on and embarrassing the Club . The media will make a big deal about this but good on the Club for holding firm and not caving in. Part of the cultural change is generational change both on and off field  .
