In today's Herald Sun, Sheedy made a comment along the lines of:

'When you get rejected by Melbourne you know it's over' in reference to not getting our coaching position.

Those grapes must have really dented his ego! Lol Sheeds.

Yeah, saw that. Have always liked Sheedy, even though I hate the bombers with a passion, so this disappointed me.

Poor form kevin. I'm sure it was tongue in cheek, but there's a sour aftertaste.

He actually said:

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.

Fair call, we were a basket case then, and our win loss record hasn't improved.

I would think (or at least hope) that anyone from the MFC discussing Sheedy in regard to coaching Melbourne did so as a joke.

He was in the first round of interviewees. I understand he did not impress as much as others for the role.

As for sour grapes he should line up behind Tony Liberatore!


Definitely tongue in cheek and basically saying that he was not longer sort after as a AFL coach.

Indeed.

That's what I thought too. A light-hearted dig at himself more than anything.

Sheedy doesn't like Melbourne. A few years back when the Roos looked to be heading North he penned an article about their "shinboner spirit" In the article he found room to praise Richmond's and the Doggies spirit as well. Then he commented on Melbourne, stating that we had nothing to offer and lacked any spirit. It really [censored] me off. watching him over the last year or so makes me laugh. He's a walking embarrasment. His rants no longer hold any substance and his opinion is rarely sort. as for his alignment with richmond, They can have him, he fits right in!

True, but totally at our expense... Shows a lack of respect for the club... I don't like it...

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Sheeds was in the final 5 candidates, along with Riley, Hardwick, Connolly and of course Bailey...

Sheeds was definately interviewed on that last day..I think he was the first candidate on the day...Bailey was the last.


not so sure it was THAT tongue in cheek. Respect Sheeds as a man who picks his words...this comentary doesnt inpres one iota however.. Look where YOU are Sheeds...talk about basket cases !!!:lol:

100% agree - hate him, hate the bombers. ffs, he's doing that dream team rubbish! go away and retire. [censored].

Sorry but this is a "ex-champion" that is losing creditability fast. Lets not forget just 9 weeks ago he was massively hyping- "challenging" the Tigers they "Can WIN the Flag." Look at the outcome ... unneeded pressure that has 110% backfired on the Tigers. (Irrespective of what BS spin they want to make up)

The game has past him by according to the Bombers ... Essendon new it ... Sheedy was just last to work it out.

Yet who does he want to take it out on .... ahhhhhh .... let me guess an easy target. (Poor Poor Form.) However, he has worked out never bite the hand that feeds you.

If he has a bone to pick with the Bombers .... done involve us. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Just goes to prove ... when you live, work, eat and breathe in a glass bowl ... you might just start acting like a "goldfish"

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
