Who do you want to coach?

[dazzledavey36 48,730]

Sheedy for me!! only if he changes his attitude of bring old players to our team like campo and heffdog. bloody beauty if he can snag a few aboriginals aswell.

[Demon Disciple 10,932]

Sheedy would be a good coach for the MFC. But he will need to let CAC do his job. Sure he can have input into decisions, just not as much as he has had at Essendon. There is a reason why CAC is recruiting manager, because he is pretty good at his job. He studies these kids throughout the entire year, and knows their skills and attributes. Plus he knows what we need as a team.

McKenna or Voss both have what it takes, however Im leaning towards Voss, due to the fact he would be more marketable and has a high profile.

where exactly DO they put the use by stamp?

this is Soooo cliche without substance....are you age-phobic or something

With his years comes experience.. Its unrivalled in the AFL . He doesnt have to kick the bloody thing.

the words Young and experienced are often contra to each other... you want experience.. again...read carefully....SHEEDY !!

the modern game is a different game and sheeds despite being the genius he is doesn't seem to have the knowledge on how to coach it.

and do we really want sheedy? he is ess and richmond through and through. why would we want a coach whos heart isn't in it?

[Rogue 585]

Let our elected board do its job and lets start looking forward and upward.

They may be elected, but it's not exactly the most democratic of processes.

Come on guys-Sheedy is not our man. I admire what he has done in footy but even he admits he is hard to get along with and he is very eccentric, almost embarrassing in what he says sometimes, and I am not that sure about his recruiting choices.

I can't see his image as part of MFC at all.

So your not prepared to face your own embarassment for the sake of thousands of other peoples success & happiness.

It is not about my personal embarrassment at all! An odd conclusion from my comments! It is about the image he brings to the club. I want success for all of us.

I saw Sheeds on the Before the Game on Saturday night and thought he behaved oddly. It added to my disquiet about him being at Melbourne.

Also my dad follows the Bombers so I see their games a bit and I have discussed Sheedy and his coaching skills over quite sometime. I am not convinced he is a coach for this era of footy. (eg Hille left off the ground on Saturday and he didn't notice)

[beelzebub 22,225]

I can tell you pretty much that should Sheedy come to Melbourne. it wil be because he wants to , more than the other way around. If he came you can bet his heart and passion would be in it.

Yep thats right...Sheeds has no idea of the modern game !!...excuse me whilst i fall around in convulsive laughter.

some observers really havent been paying attention to the modern game.. .. Is 2000 recent enough for some ??

and even this year with his share of injuries he's likely to take a team into the finals. He's go no idea at all !!! lol

Sheedy in-part created the "modern game".

Spot on!

Voted Sheedy, but would be happy if it was in an advisory role to a younger assistant like Voss, McKenna, Hardwicke (a la Parkin / Brittain) with a plan of succession in place.

I too think we should steer clear of ex-Dees.

[warren dean 193]

SHEEDY ALL THE WAY OR GUY MCKENNA WOULD BE MY SECOND CHOICE . SHEEDY WOULD BE SENSATIONAL FOR THE CLUB. WE MIGHT FINALLY GET A DECENT MEMBERSHIP!!

Agree on Sheedy and imo should get the job if he wants it. No doubt would bring to the club just about everything we currently lack. I can't understand the wraps on McKenna? What has he done? Happy to be enlightened as to his coaching record.

assistant at the filth

[warren dean 193]

assistant at the filth

Yep, knew that and also that he coached Claremont ( not all that well apparently). Just wondering if I have missed something about his achievements in coaching. If he is on the shortlist of 12 I'd say there are 11 ahead of him.

[QueenC 74]

But as an understaudy to Sheedy for say 2-3 years, then an agreed handover.

I fsheedy comes across, the facts are there needs to be a succession plan, and Viney will be clearly ready by then, and have spent time under a master coach.

I agree with you here Paul......

I genuinely love that idea as it ticks a hell of a lot of boxes, both now with our current catalogue of on- and off-field problems, Sheedy would be a near perfect fit to rebuild and promote, as well as having a very firm eye on the future of the club well beyond the next three to five years, in Viney after a great apprenticeship.

if sheeds was an expert on todays game the bombers would be dominating...

[beelzebub 22,225]

He's not the only one who understands the modern game. He does have legitimate competition. But to suggest he doesnt know which way is up !! well ...thats vaudeville at its best !! :-))

[Kit Walker 207]

if sheeds was an expert on todays game the bombers would be dominating...

Gee, Malthouse hasn't won a premiership since '94 and got thumped last week by almost 100 points - he doesn't know much about today's game. The swans are out of the eight, Roos must have forgotten it all since last year...

[Real Demon 232]

Good luck dominating with the midfield the Bombers have!

[Demons 32 235]

It won't happen but I wish it would. Sheedy for 3 years, Viney steps in after that. I ideally want Viney now but im assuming it wont happen. So I hope a plan like that does.

Just having a quick look at the poll results and Sheeds really is the supporters choice. Ratten and Voss both had some support but they are now out of the race. Any idea as to who the shortlisted 5 will be - Hutchy said on the Footy Show last night that Sheedy was a definite to make the list. I assume Bond and Connolly will fill 2 of the places. Who else?

Id say definately Mckenna.

Then possibly Sumich, Liba or Williams (Sandy)

Rumour has it McKenna is a spud of a coach. Just words around the traps
