weeding out 'soft-coc.ks' like J. White, B. Green and a few others,

Oh I say, 'Go Dees'.

Stromberg.....come on.......at least show an ounce of respect!

Saying that about two bloody good servants of the club is uncalled for.

Tuck your head in you drip!

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?

3 by 3 ..is indeed the vernacular for a three year firm followed by a three year option. exercised accordingto whatever the two parties agree to. Im sure they could agree on reasonable and relevant citeria to the interest of both parties.

did sound a bit like a Lada Niva though didnt it ?? :lol:

well this is good news... i wasn't initially keen on sheeds, but the more i think about it the more it appeals to me... although as stated in other friends, Craig Cameron must still head the recruiting department, as that is one area where sheedy has let down the bombers...

if there are 12 on the shortlist, then i'd imagine it will look something like this...

Sheedy

Connolly

Riley

Ratten

Bond

McKenna

Viney

Longmire

Harvey (perhaps?)

O' Donnell

there's 10, there's a bunch of other blokes who could also be doing it, but it's hard to say if they'd be in the 12 (jarman, rehn, liberatore, crosisca)

why should he ? when no one else does?

yze bruce green..... cop it in every second topic

It may have a little bit to do with respect.

You don't have to like the players, and I don't have a problem with players getting criticised where it's warranted, but to can those two blokes like that is rubbish.

They deserve better..........they have been very good players, and don't deserve crap like that.

Here's the thing about Sheedy, which differentiates him from all others...

Even if he doesn't win us a single game, he'll bring this club so much media attention, raise our profile and lure the sponsors, and that is something we need nearly as much as a premiership.

Of course, that all depends on his willingness to adjust to a new level of control, as he won't get to be in charge of recruiting and other aspects of our club, in the same way he did at Essendon.

How much was he in charge of recruiting did he get hird and loyde or was that a recruiting officer.

We need to be careful we don't fall for the lure of simply Sheeds the promoter, and that his primary role is to get the team back up and playing winning football.

If he can't do that, the media will be all over him for the wrong reasons, and he may be just a lead weight around the clubs neck.

And if it turns pear shaped, and he can't turn the team around, we will look like the idiots for hiring a coach past his use by date.

The Essendon board, as much as we like to believe it, aren't stupid, and would have sound reasons behind the scenes as to why they are letting him go.

I personally think he is getting everything he can out of the Bombers at the minute, and think he can make a big difference to how our team plays.

But then again, I think someone like McKenna, or Longmire could as well.

It's a very tough call. With all this pro-Sheedy support at the minute, just remember if we do get him, and it doesn't work, don't go blaming the club for taking the punt!

I'd be happy with kev bc he is a good coach (1 grand final every 5 years, 1 premiership every 6.5 yrs and 22/27 finals series) and a good promoter.

my only worry is whether he's past it.

his recruiting in recent times has been questionable, and essendon have been mediocre ever since 2000. Plus he plays favourites...

are these legitimate concerns. this guy loves mark bolten???!!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
