Hi Kev

Build yourself a bridge and get over yourself.

You have an admirable pedigree and track record. Youre a bloke who knows the value of good image and PR.

However you seem to have a bee in your bonnet about being overlooked for the position at Melbourne. You seem to be unable to let some things go and see all things in the light they need to be. Heres what Im thinking Kev, the Selection Panel had this idea too. We need people at Melbourne who have clarity of thought and make judgements without grudges as these invariably return as anchors to sink their oriiginators.

So , back to the bridge thing. Get over it. We have. Weve moved on. So have you. How is the backwater of Sydney these days ?

Sheeds is doing fine. He has added spice to tomorrows game. It's our gate.

My writing is not connected to tomorrow. It goes way back.

Sheeds works within the AFL circle. 5 years ago he probably needed a recharge so we didn't employ him. Part of me wishes we had. He probably would have demanded a FD a lot earlier. But its sliding doors.

Neeld is the man. Sheeds is Kevin

yeah Sheeds-Whatevs dude .

What people dont realize is that Kev is lacking the required amount of sandwiches for a picnic .

We dont need any more mentals at Melbourne but I'm happy the AFL invented a bogus team for kids and retirees up in West Sydney .

I've met Sheedy a couple of times and he was never in posseeion of his marbles .

Having said that-it's a simple game-and Sheedy is a performer as much as" brains trust" .

Without him-there would be nothing to write about GWS-and they would probably fold within 7 years .

I've heard Sheedy speak a number of times at various functions. I have always been very impressed - he has vision and a passion for people and the game.

He is also a provocateur - and I like that.

Sheedy sniping us from the sidelines has not be the problem with the MFC over the past few years.

100% agreement RB.

The more I think about the decision to go with DB the more I think we made the wrong move.

Sheedy would not have denuded the senior players in the same way DB did.

We would now have a list of Good senior players and developing juniors.

Not a list of mainly Has been seniors and Kids who are struggling to get up to AFL standard.

The guy has forgotten more than most at the MFC know.

But all this crap is in the papers because GWS is playing Melbourne today. Hence, you are responding to today's game - whether you like to admit it or not. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. People comment on relevant issues all the time. I wouldn't call Sheed a relevant issue at the best of times, but I could see why you might be interested in what he has to say today of all days. And you are interested. If you weren't, then you wouldn't have even noticed anything he said.

Its not about today. Sheedy had his nose out of joint because we showed him no respect. Every chance he has had he sticks it to us. Whether it be in the media, poaching Tom Scully or nominating Jack Viney (which I am sure he will do).

He his a first class scumbag. His 2000 GF effort was a disgrace (as was the AFL's non-response to the violence).

I hope like anything we beat them by 100 points today.

Know many an Essendon supporter who believe he should have won twice as many flags with the lists that he had. Overrates himself terribly

Our planets just didn't align back then. We wouldn't have had the money for a footy dept to help, and our list was woefull.

It needed stripping right back.

IMO as it is, is probably almost the best we could have hoped for. If Sheedy came over, it may well have been like Barassi walking back in, back in 1981.

The list just wasn't there, nor the culture.

The work thats been done so far @ Melbourne to date is huge.

Actually Kev, I may have got it a bit wrong. I can certainly understand WHY youd still rather be coaching Melbourne rather than that bunch of hacks youve got !!.. My bad lol. Even the Seagulls came to mock !!!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
