Sheedy threatens Critics

[Dee Fan 3,247]

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.

GW$ have basically critisized themselves haven't they? It has been all their own doing. Fools Gold indeed.

[Yoda 33]

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

[mollydee 22]

Aw shucks , someone must have hit a raw nerve!

[Macca 16,173]

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 ! )

How long will the AFL put up with this embarrassment of a man?

[PartyTimeJohnny 533]

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.

[monoccular 16,040]

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.

[Lutz 76]

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.

[Rogue 585]

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

[Ned 156]

I'm looking forward to 2 years' time when his recruits want to get the hell out of there. I hate GWS and I live in Sydney.

[Nasher 33,047]

Yes, presumably that's why they hired him.

[Mallee Bull 97]

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.

[Demonland 64,522]

I'm sure the rest of the football world are quivering in their boots.

[Chicken Deelicious 0]

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

[Demonworship 5]

There is certainly a vendetta against the MFC. That's why he recruited Junior who just turned 35.

[Steamin Demon 370]

I love reading his rubbish. Does he not know his team haven't even set foot on a ground and are already a laughing stock.

Great career move Tom $cully.

[Little Goffy 12,545]

AHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...

Etc...

Australia's least credible professional sports organisation.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Just shows you why some people should just retire......

[Retrospective 104]

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.

[Flemo56 375]

G.eezW.eS.uck.........what a nightmare the afl has created here

[Guest Thomo]

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.
