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!!

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • 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.
