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...

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"

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
