Always interesting to find ot the sentiment on this site, as i do think its only the hard line richmond supporter's that post.

And a few lunatics as well tossed in for good measure and to keep things lively 

Don't be so hard on yourself

KB was on this again this morning but quite afew of our supporters rang up and emphasised the importance of sticking to the process. If enough ring in we may actually survive the pro sheedy onslaught.

Ramps why bother. looks like a formality if history repeats itself again.

we dont have an issue at the RFc with marketing our club, so i see no reason why they would go for Sheeds.

If he is recruited to the top job because he is the best out there, then so be it but i doubt he is.

he is a washed up ex player who stuffed us off for 25 years. BANG!!!! 

Enough said!!!

Well looks like your not getting much support........ yet again......... BANG......BANG!!!! and we only have no problem at the club regarding marketing THIS YEAR becuase Cuz is there.

Pot kettle NFI

 

Ditto.....

Brian Waldron was on the money this morning. You can't make these decisions based on emotion alone and the way the old past players are publicly pushing this is undermining the Club's process.

Get Nathan Buckley not Kevin Sheedy says Rex Hunt
Sam Edmund | July 03, 2009 01:06pm

REX Hunt has scoffed at the prospect of Kevin Sheedy coaching Richmond, saying his old Tiger teammate was too old to take the reins.

Sheedy put his hand up for the Tigers' job earlier this week, saying his record spoke for itself.

Hunt, who played with Sheedy at Punt Rd from 1968 to 1974, said this morning that the former Essendon mastermind and league legend was past it and nominated Nathan Buckley as the prime candidate.

"I'm also a realist. Time passes us all by and particularly this game - it is a relentless and ruthless game," Hunt said.

Hunt, speaking on radio 3AW, said Richmond was "on its knees" and as bad it was when Terry Wallace took over as coach in 2005.

"The thing about it is, I want to point out one thing to the Carlton Football Club from a Richmond point of view," he said.

"They've got (Chris) Judd, the best player in the competition along with Gary Ablett. Three No.1 draft picks got them (Bryce) Gibbs, (Marc) Murphy and (Matthew) Kreuzer and last week they were embarrassed to such an extent that they made eight changes and people were calling for the sacking of Brendan Fevola and that sort of thing.

"Richmond is bleeding uncontrollably and it would be just like a spout that has little bubbles on it and putting paint over the top and saying, 'Gee, this looks fantastic', but next winter it peels off and looks absolutely shizenhousen.

"It's going to be another five years before we can get some good kids to come in and complement the people that play their guts out for Richmond."

Who do you think is the best coach in the AFL? Have your say at the Herald Sun 7 News Footy Fans Survey.

Hunt said Sheedy would be far better suited to a mentor role at the club, guiding a young coach.

"Sheeds has to be a father figure, similar to what Alan Jeans did when Ross Smith took over as coach, similar to what Norm Smith did with Ron Barassi," he said.

"You've got to get an understudy in there and say, 'Take over this group and away you go'. It was like what Barassi did for Sydney and then Rodney Eade took over and the next year they made a Grand Final.

"I would not have him (Sheeds) as the main coach. I would certianly have him right behind the match committee. I would go straight out and get Nathan Buckley and convince him that this is one of the great clubs in the history of the VFL/AFL, we're on our knees, we need the best, we believe you’re the best and you're the man to help us get back on top."

have you been taking your medication because you are actually starting to make some sense

[mightytiges]

Noticed Balmey stayed well out of the discussion this morning. One ex-Tiger with a proven record as a footy manager you would want back at the Club.

[Go Richo 12]

About time we had an ex player willing to look at a situation and not get carried away looking after an ex team mate. Having said that, Bucks does work with him now so maybe the passion is not totally out of his argument, but i still agree with him!

  Rex Hunt making sense.

The Kevins have Tigers' board by the tail
Jake Niall | July 3, 2009

KEVIN Sheedy and Richmond are high-school sweethearts who never managed to get the timing right as adults.

When Richmond wanted him, he was happily ensconced with a more attractive partner — Essendon. The old yellow and black flame tried to get him back at least twice but, on each occasion, he preferred the stability of his prosperous long-term relationship with the steady Dons to jumping into bed with the tempestuous Tigers.

Now, the dynamics have reversed. Sheeds wants Richmond more than the Tigers want him. But because Kevin is an old flame, for whom the club retains some affection (and a marketing role), the club must pay him the respect of listening to his pitch and giving it due consideration.

The marketing role was a way of saying, "let's just be friends". The club also invited him to be part of the panel that determines the next coach — an invitation Sheedy declined, for reasons that are now obvious. He cannot appoint himself.

A spot on analogy.

Waldron today btw said Leon Daphne first tried to get Sheeds after Northey left and before we took on Walls. So we tried in 1995, 99 and in the 2000s and were rejected every time.

He maybe the best person out there but everyone should get their chance.

Its so clear now why he declined to be on the coaching panel. Dirty little devil old Kev is

let you in on a little secret MT
sheeds was going to go back at the end of the spud era, but one greg miller got in the way , as he wanted wallace

Always interesting to find ot the sentiment on this site, as i do think its only the hard line richmond supporter's that post. I can't think of a problem with Sheedy taking over as coach next year. He would not take the job if he didnt think we could be succesful in the next five years and at this point i'll take that. 2 years out of the game and has got the passion back & he loves the club as much as any one. I think a combination of Sheedy and Hardwick/Brad Scott type in an assistant role would bring the best of both worlds.

gee that is a big assumption.

and it is wrong

Sheedy is a senile old bastard that is taking his last opportunity to milk this club, just like he did come contract time over the last 27 years.

Senile ? Not a bad sort of senile then considering the list he has left at essendon.
You better get used to sheeds back at punt Rd Blaisee
