Kevin Sheedy fumes at Greater Western Sydney critics

Kevin Sheedy has gone troppo up in balmy Rooty Hill and is now threatening retribution if anyone dares to criticise his rabble of an organisation.

"So, (the critics) can just keep going. I will get all the newspaper articles, all the TV clips and listen to all the comments, and file them away. I would say to them, 'Don't smack the baby Giant in the cot too hard, otherwise it will grow up grumpy'.

"Every person who keeps chipping away at us, we will be having a look at their uncontracted players next year, so they should be edgy and nervous."

Perhaps he should be the one concerned, because after 2 years all his players, apart from Judas, will be coming out of contract and if the club continues to operate the way it is the Mutiny could make the Bounty look like a blip.

Sheedy has always been good at getting in the paper. This is no different.

Yes, presumably that's why they hired him.

His comments can only be seen as tacit acknowledgement that they are stuffing things up.

The "Lunatics are running the asylum" up there .

Apart from being non competitive with pitifully low crowds ( get ready for some questionable figures ) the Sydney media will also use this mob as the butt of their jokes .

It's has taken years for the Swans to be accepted and there is still a fair bit of anti AFL sentiment in Sydney so when GW$ lose all the time ...................

Of course , the AFL will continue to pour tens of millions into this "basket case" and keep "it" alive .

Such a waste , and if they had of poured the same "obscene" amount of money into a Tassie Team ............................

"What goes around , comes around" , so you can bet there are plenty of Clubs that will be eyeing off all their prime draft picks when they come out of contract .

The "Rules of engagement" have changed - from now on it's "open slather !" ( apologies for all the cliches ! )

When he says things like this(fortnightly), it leaves me pretty confident he headhunted Scully out of some wierd personal Vendetta.

He's said before he didnt like the Media coverage he dealt with when going for the Melbourne job and i imagine a Giant ego like his would have been crushed after missing out on the job.

And to think that a certain T$ actually chose to play under this demented maniac!

Most of his teamates will have been forced to go there...but he cho$e to go!

But it wa$n't the money of course, it was the great facilities....and now it turms out that there are plenty of cheap falafels for his dad to devour too.

Hope he enjoys it, and thinks that it is all worth it.

Who is Sheedy actually attacking?? It was he who said a few weeks ago that all Victorian clubs should get stuck into Fremantle and raid their players...Who has actually had a go at GW$?

Most amusing....

No one officially that I have seen. He's completely paranoid.

The AFL would have been better off getting Warwick Capper to front GWS. Just as nuts but at least people in Sydney know who he is.

It's such a stupid comment too.

"Don't smack the baby giant, because then it will grow up grumpy"??

So... I take it, if no one criticises them now, instead in 6 years' time they will be politely letting other teams beat them?

Honestly!

Their aim is to "grow up grumpy" irrespective of how they are treated in their infancy.

It's just more rambling from an old bloke who has lost the plot, but still gets far too much airtime.

"Every person who keeps chipping away at us, we will be having a look at their uncontracted players next year, so they should be edgy and nervous."

Ha. If they were thorough and smart enough in recruiting, the "looking at the uncontracted players" should have already have been done pretty much anyway by touching base with uncontracted prospects.

Either that or KS is a snag short of a BBQ.

It's interesting to note that when he threatens that they'll be looking at other clubs uncontracted players to poach, their history this year suggests that the main club that should be afraid is their older sibling, Gold Coast. They will have half their young talented list coming out of their first 2 year contracts and seeing as GWS are willing to spend massive overs on kids with potential, I'd put money on GWS having a massive crack at some of the Suns young talent. Luckily for us, the pain of expansion is over.

He is not really talking to us. He is talking to all the falafel munchers who might consider being at all interested in GW$. In essence, "We are going to be big and tough", "we are going to be successful", "We will get lots of stars from other clubs". <Yawn>. Old K$ is doing what he is supposed to do - be the Barnham brothers and spruik the circus to the average punters to see if he can get them through the door.

Too bad when they get there the product will be shite.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is probably Kevin Sheedy

I've said it before......Reminds me of some embarassing great uncle.... you know the sort, showing the signs of advancing age, thinks that because they've been around for a long time that people should listen (and value) what they say..... despite the fact that half of it is indecipherable and the rest is irrelevant, wrong or a generation out of date.

Is this thread serious? Sheedy is playing a game to get publicity, trying to get people talking about GWS, trying to create media coverage and trying to manufacture rivalries.

The Gws model of building the list is much smarter than the Suns. Suns big names will be past their best when they are playing in grand finals, GWS recruits will be in their prime.

He has a vendetta against MFC? Some posters are seriously paranoid and have been sucked in hook line and sinker.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
