No Thanks, if we're to have a different coach next year, I'd rather it be one of the new breed. Like his seeming heir Mr Daniher, Sheeds said nothing to suggest he'd be coaching the Dons next year, he almost all but confirmed he wont be there from his answer to questions...

how predictable that reactions be like this..lol

but on one note.. the hypothetical is ..one coach with no premierships and no real nouse as to how to get one.. for one with 4 ..and an almost chameleon like ability to reinvent ??..who has history of playing and developing youth etc.

I'd be in it

I would be in it too.

Getting Sheedy would be better than any player for this club. He mentioned last night he would probably coach next year regardless, so it can happen.

my gut feel is some quality players and coaches see Melbourne as a bit soft and unreliable as a club, something one person cannot change too quickly. Apart from Pickett, who have we traded to the club of real note?

i wish he would come. I have no doubt he would toughen the place up, and change the structure of our side.

But in reality he is blue collar, would suit the tiges but Wallace is there for 2 more years or perhpas interstate sides like Freo. One thing is for sure he won't end up at Carlton.

a complete no as coach... but in a director of football type role i'd take him in a second... similar job to people like david parkin at hawthorn... would be invaluable to the club...

however i think getting a new coach is a must... look at the most recent senior coaches to make their debut...

Chris Connolly

Dean Laidley

Alastair Clarkson

Ross Lyon

Neil Craig

Paul Roos

John Worsfold

out of that list only the first 2 I would consider not to be successful thus far, with lyon too early to call... but worsfold, roos, craig and clarkson have all done terriffic jobs... and i believe the next debut coach will also do a good job... will be quite annoyed if we pick up a recycled coach, as they've clearly failed... the only way i would want a current coach is if we poached someone like carlton did with pagan (although i would expect a better outcome)...

If Sheeds wanted an overseeing role only...he has bigger fish to play with...called the AFL.. they have his chair already organised and preheated !! lol

Sheedy might not have a say in what happens, but I get the feeling he is pretty excited with the batch of young players we have at the moment. I for one, would like to see what he can do with them in the next couple of years. So that would be a no from me, but as I said, it's not up to me or Sheeds.

If Essendon do decide to change coaches, Sheedy would be a great acquisition for any club, especially a club like Melbourne. Surely a bit of Sheedy hype would boost your membership over 30,000.

yeah ..i got the impression Sheeds was keen to see the new batch come through after all he has had much sucess with this sort of scenario.

Im not sure how Kev would bolster membership...unless you talk of defections ?? lol..

I think Kev would shudder at our facilities :-(. In reality I see it either as a continuation at windy Hill.. or a new office at Headquarters.

i have some insider news!!!!!!!!!!!!

LISTEN UP!

there will be a 4 way trade up coaches next year.

Sheedy of essendon will be coaching the Tigers next season (he is in their team of the century B.P and is a favourite son)

Daniher of Melbourne to Essendon (He is Essendon's favourite son)

Terry Wallace of Richmond to Carlton (The team he really wanted to coach but lost out to Pagan a few years back)

D.Pagan of Carlton to Melbourne (Melbourne is desperate need of a quality coach who can turn their extremely talented side into premiership success)

It is a win-win for every body and is almost certain to eventuate.

i'm happy with Pagan. Some argue that he is a coach more suited to a different era of football, but i think he can still coach in modern football.

If this does not eventuate:

Out next best options are

- Longmire

- any other sydney assistent coach

- G.Odonnel

- M.Voss

You and I clearly have very different inside sources. :rolleyes:

Just on the topic, I was listening to SEN on my way home tonight, and Ox made the comment that Gary Lyon was the best forward coach he has ever had, that he could really get through to players and that in his opinion he'd make a great coach.

Now before anyone jumps on me, I am NOT in favour of Lyon being our next coach, but if he wants to be our forward coach, I'm all for it. However, as Ox said, why would he take the pay-cut, only to gain the extra headache?

Sheedy wouldn't do it because he wouldn't coach a club that has limited resources like we do, I don't think he is confident enough in his own ability to achieve without a rich club behind him.

might be just the challenge for such an 'insecure' person !! :-))...see if he really has it or if all those premeierships were just @rse and circumstance.

he has nothing to prove

He has more to lose by taking a chance with a poor club, which is the reason why I rate guys like Matthews higher, they were prepared to go to an unsuccessful club and putting everything on the line.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
