Kevin Sheedy wants GWS to play AFL game in China for premiership points in 2013

Another harebrained scheme from the maestro but it's an idea that we could grow to like. I have a mental picture of Liam Jurrah booting four goals in the last and Sheedy's highest paid player scurrying home to mummy and daddy offended by teammates enjoying themselves by partaking of the local brew.

What are you thinking they will be there, only have to find a job for mum.

I am sure they will find her a position in the next few months.

Just a theory but maybe Sheedy believes Melbourne is his biggest threat and is looking to get us doing stupid things while they are redundant. This would ruin our season in the same way that travelling to Darwin does.

We carry the name Melbourne we're everyones favourite threat. The other teams around here are just suburbs.

How would it ruin a season ? If played as an opener in the same vein as Syd v GWs a few days before the rest theres time for a littel rest etc. My issue with Darwin is its timing and weather and how it wil lsuck the life out of players , all that in face of normal turnaround. . Playing in China ...im not sure what the issue is.

As an idea I'll confess to being a little intrigued at this stage

Alarm bells started to ring....

From his point of view. we have one the youngest and less experienced lists in the AFL.

We also have a number of 'kids' that have now had a few seasons under their belt.

Considering his "kindergarten" list of players they have, why not put them up against a

young team that isnt way too advanced , in terms of games played.

Use that as a guide to where GWS is at. Thats one side of it.

We also have (by my count) approx 20 players out of contract at the end of 2012

I hope that is retified sooner, rather than later.

This sleezebag, might view this as a way to backdoor us once more, a chance to

have a chat with a few, by mingling after a "friendly" game... paranoid? [perhaps]

Tell him to blow it out of his ear, they will get to play us round 13.

He was quoted at the very end of the article saying he couldn't see why the Dees wouldn't be interested in such a game... nowhere does he actually say he wants the other team to be us. Is the OP looking towards a career in journalism?

Chinese care factor for AFL.....zero

Im willing to bt its something above zero....if only microscopic. The AFL set up a chinese based website some tears back to educate and explain the game. It was getting thousands of hits. Cant find it for the life of me now, but my search ability in either mandarin or cantonese is a bit rough. The AFL is very keen to establish an interest if only in a boutique sense . We as a club have been pandering to exactly the same idea. So why as a club wouldnt we be at least interested in hearing it out ?
My care factor for anything Sheedy says.....zero
Thats fine.. your perogative. Ideas have merits as well as protanganists.
say NO to stage managed crap in support of GWS

Good luck with that

Eh. Will Scully go home when he realises Melbourne aint the only footy club who like to have a drink on holidays?

I bet he swore he'd never return . Not for all the tea.....

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
