From all reports Sheedy is ours, provided the powers that be want him, which i now know that they do.

I have had to edit this and another subsequent post, but rest assured it looks like he will be our new coach.

Stay tuned fellow Sheedy fans.

 
Sheedy has always hated the MFC.

Why on earth would he want to coach us if he has always hated us???

And why would we want him to coach us if he's always hated us???

Don't get me wrong, i would love Sheedy to coach the dees next year, but i'm a bit perplexed by this.

never heard of a love-hate relationship !! :-))))

I agree that sounds ridiculas.


Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Ahh, now i get it. After we win the premiership, Sheeds will pounce. It all makes sense now!!!

 
I've always hated sheedy and essendon, but if he walks out in the red and blue I'll love the man.

at least we can continue hating essendon


Asked if Melbourne was his best shot to coach in 2008, Sheedy said, "Well, they need a good coach. They had one, but they need one."

From all reports Sheedy is ours, provided the powers that be want him.

Hopefully you are proved correct Haydo.......

Sheedy confirms Dees talks

For obvious reasons i can't name my source and never will be able to, but if the great man does come across i will have an absolute belter of a source for some time to come.

Hopefully your source is happy for you to leak!

But I have to say if that is true then I am happy. Come on down Sheeds :)

lol it would be funny if he hated the MFC so much that the only reason he took the job was to run us into the ground.


Stop and think !! big ask...i know...lol

Sheeds grew up barracking for Essendon. It was an era when Melbourne as well as teh filth were the major contestants for the flag. In al teh gobbledegook than transpires for rivlary we are apt to foget that The Bombers and melbourne were as much rivals as anyone. Melbourne were percoieved as the toffs on the hill and Essendon the mavericks from way out wherever. It was an era where todays distances meant much more. we were seen as the elite, teh have do's etc. my how things turn !!. In a totally ironic fashion, Melbourne repesents now to essendon what they did to us all those years ago. Im sure this irony isnt missed by Sheeds. how sweet for him if HE was the catalyst !! :-))

Gee Willikers, if you read on the MFC website sheed's said he chatted to MFC about footy, and MFC didn't offer him a job. We will hear nothing about how his job hunting is progressing because he stated that his future job prospects will be handled by his lawyer.

I want him to coach us, but my perspective ATM is that it will not happen.

I also heard that Richmond is trying to get together the money to pay out Wallace's contract and try to get him too.

Never take things like that as they are, Sheedy always said stupid things to the media and never gives a straight answer, but what he said on the footy show last night was that he is interested, and WILL go through our process, minus the pych test :P

hope you don't really think this. I reckon he wants to coach us, to shove it in the face of the Essendon Board and the players who didn't want him next year. :lol: :lol:

Why on earth would he want to coach us if he has always hated us???

I reckon Sheedy would love the challenge.

The challenge of restoring ancient glory to the once-mighty Demons.

He's a football romantic.

And what extra lustre to his already illustrious career if he could pull it off.

You have to ask yourself WHY he hates us.

Let's have a look at who WE hate and why.

Essendon - WHY because they are arrogant and successful. Both these attributes come from being supremely SELF CONFIDENT and RUTHLESS. Something we are NOT.

Colling%$%@ - Why because of the same reasons.

Anyway, Sheedy probably hates Melbourne because of attributes we HAVE that he apires to have. Let's not forget that his roots are as a humble plumber coaching at a working class club.

Melbourne must hold some sort of mystique for him. Something he outwardly despises but inwardly respects, appreciates and desires.

Go Dees - onward and upward

If we get Sheedy as coach...there goes our good recruiting!

Sheedy loves aboriginal draftees and picks them up willy nilly stuffing up the future.

Alwyn Davey, Ryder, Lovett, Lovett-murray, Richard Cole, Dempsey, Jetta and then 2 out of the 4 on the rookie list are aboriginal. A bit worrying if you ask me. I mean some of those players are good players i'm sure...but i'm 100% sure that he's decision was influenced by what skin colourt they have.

Please Sheedy, take off the blinkers and just pick the best player.

if we picked up those players, i'd be bloody happy!

 

I've coped one too many beratings from Essendon supporters, those people think they are bigger than football. Would love their coach (the only Essendon coach in their time) to come over and help us win a flag. That would make me more happy than seeing Eddie go bankrupt, and Collingwood get eaten alive by a bunch of hungry Bigfoots.

yeah we have one of the best drafters and scouts going around, let's hope he doesn't want to interfere too much in this aspect, however he has won 4 premierships (? - or is it five) in his time, and football has changed immensely in that time, do you think he is pre-empting another shift? He is a genious!

How many Aboriginals did the 2000 side have in it?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
