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)

    I think you'll find a certain M Williams.. address TBO, might be on that list also !! :-)

    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!

    Is a tough call, i think mckenna would be great as well, or ratten, other than that i would be worrying about the season to come all summer.

    I like it!!

    After listening to Sheedy's comments regarding passion, I am super stoked!! Sign here Mr. Sheedy ...............

    The bloke is [censored] funny and has a record that talks for itself..... The bloke could sell Ice to the Eskimos!!!!

    Out with The Rev.....

    In with The Kev.....

    :lol:

    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???!!

    Iwonder how long BIG ALL would have lasted under sheeds.

    Just wondering any thoughts. :rolleyes:

  • Quote

    Every coach has favourites, Big al would have gone before he did under some coaches and maybe lamb would have stayed.

  • Quote

    Imagine if Melbourne pick up Carlton's former coach.

    They will be going from a Reverend to a Pagan.

    Very Good!

    It would also fit in with our Demon image by some of the religous folk in our cummunity.

    Calm down of dazzling one :P

    It is a great article and each time i hear him speak or read a article i want him to coach melbourne more and more.

    The prospect is exciting isn't it.

    But will the reality be?

    This is why we need a "process!"

    Stupid decisions are made on emotion and gut feel.

  • Quote

    Would we have the money he wants? Do we find & pay him whatever he wants? He wont have all the luxury of supporting staff & facilities that he has become accustom to at Essendon.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
