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.

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.

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.

Posted

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.

Posted

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.

Posted

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
