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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
