Kevin Sheedy complaining about clubs trying to poach GWS players in the Sun today. MFC says hello.

 

As always, loves to promote his ideas and favourites, and always operates from self interest.  Has done some good things, but gws are either a real team now, or not.  Can’t rub it both ways.

Everyone operates from some level of self interest.

I would say he has also had the game at heart...on the whole he has been & is good for the game.

So they steal Scully, Ward, Davis etc then complain when it comes back to other clubs looking at GWS Talent. 
Sheedy = A grade tool 

And GWS gets a recruiting zone.  So it’s already imbalance towards them

I bet Sheedy hasn't complained about GWS poaching all of the swans academy & NEAFL players......

I haven't seen Sheedy's article, so I won't comment on what he said, but wasn't GWS established deliberately with a larger number of players which required them to "lose" some over time via trading, retirements and free agency?  If so, the model effectively invited clubs to pursue GWS's excess players.

On the whole,  Sheed's  has been  'brilliant'  for the game...  equally with LMatthews. 

I'd say that Barass,  Sheeds and Mathews,  are all equal with Teddy Whitten,  as the best promoters of our game.


Sheedy no time for him at all. Pictured in Rob Flowers book as coach of Sun all stars and Rob F in same jumper ALLSTARS photo but in Sheedy's latest book Rob not rated in top 25-30 players.Disgraceful disrespect!

His opinions are WORTHLESS!!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
