I think Sheeds thinks Essendrug is still his Club and that he still rules. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out. A lot of Essendrug still believe Hird should have got the job 

Sheeds going public regarding the coaching vote and his disapproval of the outcome makes his position on the board untenable. The chairman should tell him to fall on his sword. If he's honorable he would do it without prompting from the chair

How often has Sheedy fallen on his sword? he is either invincible or has access to the best surgeons in the land.

Oh I know.

Its fantastic.

And with Yze not there I can actively root for their failure.

Hell, with a Scott in there I might get my voodoo dolls out

My former Chair on a Board I was involved with (mulit-billion dollar outfit)would demand Sheedy's resignation.

If not, then he and most other Board members, myself included, would resign over this breach of Board governance.

Big, big test for David Barham.

The phrase 'Sheedy out of his depth here'  comes to mind

 

How the hell can you run a coaching shortlist process if one guy keeps grandstanding like this? I agree, his postion on the board should be in jeopardy.

Oh dear Essendon, i also think it's ridiculous that they carried on all the way through the Brad Scott press confrence about a renewed focus on footy, only to hire a guy with a background in major banks

Ooze should be counting his blessings. Essenscum just can't help themselves. What a ridiculous CEO appointment.

i've always been under the impression that essendrugs had a very strong catholic following

on that basis seems a good fit 😂

Adem Yze to North next year if Clarkson's career goes down the toilet? Sounds like he's so close to a senior gig he can touch it.

Although I'm not sure if the MFC would be willing to let him go so late in the piece. 

 

I said to Adem on Friday night that he may have dodged a bullet by not getting the Dons gig. Imagine Sheedy waiting in the wings for you to fail so he can say ‘I told you we should have appointed James’.

I sensed that Adem was gutted.

I spoke with my Dons mate yesterday. He dined with Sheedy, Hird and one or two other board members three days after the Hawks review was released. When mention was made in the report of a Hawks assistant coach possibly being involved (or at least privy to the actions of others) Yze was out of the running.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

In a way I think that is sad that someone could be hounded out of a job for their beliefs and the church they belong to.

Someone at Ess ad the AFL didn't do enough due diligence on the cultural fit.  Just shows some clubs just don't get the importance of being an inclusive club, not just in word but also in deed.

Find it more sad that a church will hound people for the way they were born, but each to their own I guess...

 

hope there are no practising catholics or muslims on the board or the executive

could be a blood bath

  • 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.
