SHEEDY?

Realise this dumb at first, but the more you thonk about it the better it sounds. Or perhaps the more i think about Melbourne the more insane i get.

Get Sheeds involved as head coach for 2 years ala his job at GWS. He is able to build a culture and players respond well to him. He wanted the job when Bailey was appointed, I think for the right price he'd come. He leaves GWS at the end of this year.

I love Neeldy, I thought he was the one to lead us out of the mess. I think that If he had been handed Geelong when Thompson left them, Neeld would be applauded as a fantastic coach. It's painfully apparent that the bloke will lose his job at some point this year. It's time to get an experienced, proven coach.

    I could stomach a Roos but Sheedy is an ar#e who revels in the misfortune of others. Clear pass.

    Substitute Matthews and you've got a deal...

    I pray that he fails with the AFL's very own team

    Didn't even think of Mathews, I'd prefer him anyday. But let's be honest, Mathews would never coach Melbourne. I think Sheedy might.

    He badmouthed the MFC after he mssed out the last time.....but he s too old now anyway.

    If they gave him the job instead of Bailey, things would be different now,he would not have bought in to the Tanking debacle.

    We would have done it the hard, way and by now would be reaping the benefits.

    He is to old now, and he would not come any way.

    Trouble with Kevin is that it's all about him. Was the same with the Bombers who underachieved given the talent.

    Plus he's a deadset [censored].

    I wanted sheedy when we interviewed for a new coach. Too old my foot. He took over the international rules side after and transformed the team to pure pace and blitzed Ireland just after finishing coaching at essendon. When we played gws they beat us early until fitness took over for us against 18 year olds.

    Even at the end with essendon they were hardly wooden spooners, but still winning games of footy.

    He can coach. He like Matthews questioned watts over natanui and we bitched about it, but he knows his footy.

    Getting untried assistants seems highly risky to me.

    Only if he brings Scully back with him, and Scully senior.

    In other words, hell no.

    Wouldn't care less if he is a [censored] , or anybody else for that matter, as long they get someone who can do the bloody job!!

  • Quote

    Matthews - YES PLEASE

    Roos - at least he would shut up bagging us

    Sheedy - maybe, but I agree with Return to Glory, he is a dead set [censored].

    But Neeld for a little while longer night be just as good.

    Glad to see that Damien Barrett reads Demonland

    The last thing we need is another game player and Sheedy is certainly one of those. If he was actually any good as a coach GWS wouldn't be letting him go. If in the future we do replace the coach we need a complete package with a sound gameplan for the modern era.

  • Quote

    Mark Neeld i think would be a perfect person to have as a senior assistant, maybe not a head coach

    Sheedy at the very least would identify exactly what is wrong with us in alot of areas

    Demand the respect of the players, i think our on field effort would increase significantly just for having him around

    can't see a downside, despite that people on here don't like him.

    The last thing we need to be talking about is this. Sheedy please - too old, knowing past & present bomber players they couldn't have been happier when he left & can't stand the pri@k. Needle has thus far done everything in his power delisted players that have had to go and starting with a second rebuild - please went don't need to be speaking about this now.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
