Spot on, Deanox. This club needs Sheedy. As I've posted elsewhere, and you've said here, he has all the ingredients, we just need to make sure he has the time to turn this group into something special. It took him 4 years to win a flag at the Bombers with a list that included Madden, Watson, Daniher, Vander Haar etc. I think we need to give him a 3 year contract at least. He's 59 now but still with the fire in his belly - he is desperate for that 5th flag as coach to move ahead of Parkin, Jeans and Barassi. He is still the best in the business. Let's get him!

On SEN yesterday they were saying Chris Connolly as Melbourne coach is virtually a done deal.

Was it the same people who said that Pagan was sacked?

SEN and their rumours can rival those of big footy. But even if Connolly was to be appointed, the amount of uproar from the supporters might see him sacked as soon as he's appointed. Either that or the MFC might go into damage control next year with membership only reaching 10,000, if that.

Paul Gardner did the right thing in changing the coach (however rough it was). He shouldn't go and throw it all away by appointing someone that is an exact replica of Daniher.
