Mike Sheahan

What's with the video of him on our site? Why are we now having some form of official connection with him?

It's odd but I like it, the more respected people connected to the club in some official manner the better I say, could this be Roosy's doing?

Interesting video. Some guys are easy to identify but scratching my head about most. After pausing on one shot I think I worked out one guy was Tingay and he looks like he could play tomorrow. Is it Wheater in brown standing with his arms folded?

I think Roosy's had a word...said that now Mike has stepped back from his media stuff a bit it's time to fly the flag some.

[Machsy 2,858]

I don't think it'd be at Roosy's behest.

But I do think Sheahan has decided it's time to have a more active role in helping the club he supports.

Same with many others over the last 12 months who aren't as visible, it would seem.

Sheahan was nowhere to be seen when Schwab and Connolly were around. Was one of the first to suggest Roos was a chance and then asked the questions that got Brock to public ally don us in for tanking and an investigation that saw McLardy, Schwab and Connolly.

end result Roos and all of a sudden even Denim has nothing but good things to say about us.

I suspect it's more Mike getting back on the bandwagon. I get the feeling he misses the lime light since he's stepped down from full time herald sun hence why he still does open mike, OTC and the top 50 and often tries to provoke headlines.

But even if he's jumping on it's still a positive sign.

He's a guy who for the last decade at least he placed his professional career ahead of his personal team support which is actually quite admirable. Mark Robinson could take note.

Mike Sheehan doesn't barrack for Melbourne he barracks for no one and if anyone it's footscray

[Whispering_Jack 28,147]

He turned up at a meeting of supporters at the Bentleigh Club some years ago and announced he was a supporter.

[Choko 493]

He barracks for Melbourne. Whether he is a supporter or not, I can't say.

Only as a ventriloquist's doll with someone who can actually speak English pulling the strings.

Oh, ok, then...

Not that it matters a great deal but he is an MFC supporter.

He would take pride in the fact you have no idea.

[Demoneyes 562]

MS is a paid up member of the MFC and has been a supporter for many years! No disrespect please to the "iron mike"!

[Moonshadow 16,672]

Great clip of the past players. Guy Rigoni certainly looks like he'd struggle to get his old jumper on again!

[Young Dee 1,303]

So is he our new poster boy now?

I like it - he has a bit of class about him.

Anyone know if he has a legit position now or is it just casual media stuff for his mate Roos?

Ted Carroll is still hanging around the Past Players as is Bryan Kenneally.

When I think of the free beers these guys must have drunk-oh the humanity.

I was coached by both of them.

Kenneally was a Champ backman from the 60s-probably dour and strong.

Carroll was a Collingwood reject who only played a handful for Melbourne but is the Past Players Pres I think.

They never taught me the art of sniffing out free beers-I learnt that for myself.
