    The more I think about.....

    The more I listen to opinions.....

    The more I think that Kevin Sheedy will coach us next year!

    It all seems to be falling into place....

    If Sheedy coaches next year, it will be with the Red 'n Blue!

    The interesting ( well to me ) is the liitel thing that Kev obviously wants a crack at the job otherwise he wouldnt bother goinf to see teh club. Its HE who is in the box seat.

    Now I could be reading this all wrong, but it looks to be a signal from Sheeds to say to the MFC..."well guys...are you serious ...I am !! "

    and after all he only has to lighten the black to a dark blue :-))))))))))))))))))))

    The way sheeds is also ie that he wants to coach we might get him because there is only so much jobs going around each year and if he doesnt take it if offerd he may not get one in the future as he is getting older.

    Just curious if we were to get Sheedy (which i hope we do); How many years contract would you give Him?

    I reckon a three year deal would be the go. Short term contracts mean short term thinking and that will not win us a flag.

    Its a damn exciting thought, the great Kevin Sheedy at the Greatest oldest club in the league. Reminds me of Norm Smith, Barrassi, Neale Balme (well maybe not).

    However got to remember that everyone thought John Longmuire was sure thing last year for the Saints then Ross Lyon came from no where.

    But very exciting. Hopefully he doesn't play favour players who try hard over talent.

    Id give him a 3 by 3 . Nothing anyone does will perrform miracles in a couple of years though by then some indications of direction ought to be apparent. We will need to see the last of the current 'oldies' ( and no real disrespect to the likes of white and Neeta..but what is...iS !! ) retired and the buds of the new bllom coming forth before the NEW MELBOURNE really emerges.

    3 by 3 offers some flexibility whilst facilitating longevity should it be needed and warranted.

    Riley has to go.... the worst thing that can happen to us is riley will be coach.... i dont care if he stays assistant...

    melbourne need a breath of fresh air

    ive always thought of sheedy as abit of a [censored]..... but i think he will be good for the club....

    Lets just see if Sheedy lasts the process.

    It like getting excited about the winner of Big Brother after only one week. (No i dont watch it!)

    Bub, Is a "3x3", a clapped out 4 WD car, a nine year contract or a 3 year contract with a further option of one or two 3 year terms?

    If its the latter, at whose option is it exercised?

    I'll take Sheeds if Sheeds wants us. http://news.realfooty.com.au/sheedy-to-mee...071901-qx3.html

    My partner is also a Bummer supporter, and she's already said she'll take a far more active interest in the MFC if Sheeds is appointed.

    I'm not sure if Bond would be interested in continuing an assistant coaching role with us, but a Sheeds/Bond combo would suit me just fine.

    Apart from a lot of other things, I think the greatest asset Sheedy will give the Demons, is weeding out 'soft-coc.ks' like J. White, B. Green and a few others, while turning players like Johnstone into consistent and strong performers. He doesn't accept mediocrity, nor any half-hearted attempts to play the great game.

    I really hope it coaches, and coaches for a number of years at this club, by-george we need something or somebody to get in there with a serious bit of passion and motivation.

    Oh I say, 'Go Dees'.

    You would have to think that in the manner of accreditations, that he would get 'passes' on many of the tests lined up for the coaching wannabe's .

    I would expect the interview to be ..

    Well Kev, thanks for coming along. we understand you have a meeting with Martian Seagull Appreciation Society, so we'll keep this brief. Do you want the parking spot next to mine ?

    Paul, Steve , gents. Yep, that will do nicely. Cya Monday.

    If there is a shortlist of 12 and given Voss (declared) Bomber Thompson and Dean Laidley (not available till after finals) all unavailable hard to think of who else other than ND has been left off the shortlist!! Are there 12 people looking for senior coaching job? Must be going to talk to RDB, Ayres, Timmy Watson, Grant Thomas & Matt Rendell B)

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
